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.

that is what you need, unless you want to run stainless steel braid

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 oh ya and my fuel pump is in the way

i just spent about 250 in fitting and about 150 on -8 steel braided line or you can come get that fuel line from the v8 car for like 50.00
