Pontiac 2nd gen fuel system questions
Had a stalled project that I'm moving on again. Picked up most of these parts awhile ago and just wanted to put the setup out there and had some questions. I am pretty good and throwing stuff together but am pretty novice on tips and tricks. This is my first non "bolt on" Fuel system.
Car is a 1973 firebird with an 455, SD ported heads and stump puller Roller cam, ported torqer II etc etc. Builder says 600+ I'm guessing in 500's more likely.
Fuel system is:
Resto mod tank
5th gen camaro fuel module
vaporworx regulator modifification
3/8 NiCop line
TBD PTFE from tank to hardline, and from hardline to terminator fuel rail.
II much vent
Now for my stupid questions!
1- On the PTFE line any rule of them on lengths from hardline? Do I do hardline up and over axle, then a really short soft line? How far do I do the hardline into engine bay? Any examples of second gen setups or pics anyone has?
2. I'd like to do prebuilt ptfe lines from Pegasus or Fragola, are there any strategies for measuring and determining which ends to install? I was thinking of building it with hard line for reference but I'm guessing there is easier way?
3. Suggestions for the vent? I was expecting an AN fitting on the resto mod tank but only have barbs. Again any examples out there that are good to follow?
4. Sending unit, I have programmable Speed hut fuel gauge. Can I use the 5th get module sending unit? if yes how do I block off? If no any suggestions?
5. The adaptor connector I got two years ago I'm guessing should be replaced by the new one vaporworx has? I got it from vaporworx but it looks different when I go to site.
Thanks upfront for any suggestions here or calling me out for missing something\doing something wrong! Looking forward to getting this thing off the lift after two years!!!
