Good point.

You guys are to much LOL.

By the way, I am just waiting for a special hose collar to come in to work and then I am going to braze this fitting on.
It is a removable style fitting like the others that threads into steel braided line but with a blank pipe end so that I can attach the old connector at the FPR.

I guess I didn't need to clamp the hose because its coming off but you never can tell with how long it takes to get parts.

Did I mention that I ordered a 150 HP edelbrock Nos system progressive controller

I have a question about the stock injectors.
Can the hats be bought separately?

Look at Robs last post on the oil control issues and the FIX for that and you will see.

What you wont see is the quality of the hoses from the pictures, you need to hold them in your hand.

One is going on my car if I can ever find time to install it.
Actually the whole set is going on my car, and my lines are less than three years old, they are that good.
I wish I would have know this.

Are you really sure that you want to have things configured with that "T" oriented like that?

The stock fuel rails have clips holding the injectors into the fuel rails. How are the injectors secured with the pictured fuel rails?

The red water bridge and thermostat housing looks great. Maybe it's just the lighting, or the picture, but on my monitor it looks anodized.

I did mine all custom. I'm not quite happy with it yet because I inadvertently ordered a hose that was way too long, but it fits and seals perfectly, it's just that the coiled hose is kinda ugly. It's all -6 AN braided stainless hose with teflon core. Call up British American Transfer, ask for Eric, he's a helpful guy. If you go -6 AN you will need some sort of adapter, either a -6 AN welded to the female hose barb, or a replacement hard line with a -6 AN, or as I did, a double male adapter which I used to replace the main supply line, also with braided stainless teflon hose. 100% worthwhile, as far as I am concerned. I don't believe my fuel hoses will ever fail. I also have Carl's rails, and no dampners, just the RRFPR. No problems to report, and the car runs just fine. I don't see any pressure oscillations on the gauge, although I guess I can't see the gauge while the car is being driven. My WBO2 doesn't show any problems though.
