Re: 67 Camaro Build
SW green line gauges are one of my favorite old skool gauges, for this project I’m leaning towards my updated SW 977j pedestal tach (1st link). That and some new reproduction SW deluxe series black face gauges to facilitate a cowl-mounted fuel pressure gauge (2nd link, more on that stuff later).

Re: 67 Camaro Build
While Perk’s is getting some paint on the front clip, I’m mocking up our fuel line plumbing at the back of the car. As mentioned earlier, the new rear exhaust hanger bar is handy to mount the fuel filter. Our fuel tank is still wearing the cover Mrs. 7dee2 made to protect the powder-coated finish.

Our frontend bits and pieces are also in primer.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate it.
I decided a while ago that I needed to learn how to make PTFE AN fuel line for this and future projects. It didn’t go well initially, ruined a few fittings, and the first hose when pressure tested was garbage (dagnabit, this stuff is a little spendy! ). But hey, practice makes perfect, eventually I did get it and luckily haven’t ruined a hose since. The last pic shows two early attempts at making the short hose from the tank to the fuel filter. The one with the schrader valve fitting is a keeper.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Expensive lessons usually stay with me longer....
I went thru the same thing 40 years ago, working for a bus company that all the air and fuel lines were made that way with stainless braided over rubber. A little spit on the end of the male insert goes a long way toward insertion success... I learned to use duct tape when cutting the line to avoid unraveling of the jacket and steel. Place the tape so the cut is in the center of the tape width. The trick with that, is to peel it off laterally, rather than circular. Helps to keep the stray wires in place for the nut to go over easier. I used that method for the next 38 years on my own semi repairs. |

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Ain't that the truth! You know, insertion success has always been a personal goal of mine!
Paint update, the hood is looking great!
