i'm stuck with the fuel line problem. some people tell me to use some old stock lines out of a v8, others tell me to add a hose to extend the line to the passanger side because the 4cyl are on the drivers side. there's got to be an easy way to do this.....please help me out. thanks.

he also did -10 out of the pump, -10 to the rails feed, -8 to the regulator, and -8 for the return
but he did not use stock fuel lines or rails.

your also going to need the brake line that goes from the proportioning valve to the rear end, on a 4 cylinder car the brake line runs on the passenger side, and on a v8 car it runs on the drivers side....
you can get away with out changing it, but you cant run tailpipes, because it is in the way on the pasenger side rear. that is why i have no tailpipes ![[Frown]](frown.gif) oh ya and my fuel pump is in the way ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
