Re: My engine bay (Start to finish) thread
So every once in a while i get a PM asking about my engine bay fuel lines so i decided to make a post with the part numbers, prices and the purchase source. I will start with parts from the factory hard lines and compile a list up to the feed on the carb. . .
O-rings (NOTE!!!! keep your old o-rings even if they brake take them with you to a auto parts store and match them up with new ones)
Earl's #361-9894DBH # Fuel Injection Female O-Ring Seal 14mm x 1.5 Thread (Jegs $11.99 )
Earl's #361-9894DBJ # Fuel Injection Female O-Ring Seal 16mm x 1.5 Thread (Jegs $11.99 )
Above highlight in red is what you need so you can adapt your new AN fittings and lines
Earl's #361-AT800106 -6AN Ano-Tuff Straight Swivel-Seal Fitting (Jegs $7.99)
Above highlight in blue you'll need 4 of these straight 6AN fittings
Earl's #361-310006 AN Size: -06 (3/8''); 10' Foot Length (Jegs $52.99) - NOTE: You wont need more then 6 feet
Other parts to keep the lines from moving
Insulated Clamps ( under 5 dollars )
made my own mount to run lines (cost of materials)
nuts and bolts ( under 5 dollars )
Earl's #361-982266 90° -6AN to 3/8" AN to NPT adapter (Jegs $9.99)
Earl's #361-981666 Straight -6AN to 3/8" NPT Adapter (Jegs $9.99)
Earl's Performance #593204ERL Internal Allen Head Pipe Plug, 3/8 in. NPT, Aluminum, Blue Anodized, Pair (source Summit racing $6.25)
vacuum line cap ( under 2 dollars )
Ditched Mallory's mount they included made my own (cost of material)
Mallory #4309 Mallory Fuel Pressure Regulator
( Summit racing $84.95)
3/8 threaded pipe ( under 2 dollars)
Mr. Gasket #1561 Analog Fuel Pressure Gauge
(Summit racing $19.95)
Spectre #29883 Single Feed Fuel Line w/Gauge hole for Edelbrock/Carter (auto parts store $13)
So thats my entire engine bay fuel line setup from hard line to carb. All prices are current to date with this post. i didn't pay the exact prices as listed above. also many items can be ordered from one source and anything where i didn't put a source is because it can generally be found at auto parts stores, hardware store etc.

Re: My engine bay (Start to finish) thread
I see you went with the fabricated set. Very nice. I actually have the second set you had (Transdapt set) and am mating R&M wire loom separators on the top of them. I bought them for their added room (taller). Mine have a PCV and Breather though.
Everything looks great though. Thanks for pictures as well since I have yet to install my set...haha.
Ill be waiting for more.

Re: My engine bay (Start to finish) thread
i dont think that is what he was asking
he was saying: why are your fans pressed flat up against the radiator.
or at least thats what i want to know.
fan shrouds should look like this
http://www.mahaffeymotorsports.com/FanShrouds.htm
there should be a gap of around an inch so that all the air being pulled out can go through the entire radiator, not just an area the size of the fan.
the way you have it set up is going to be a lot less efficient.
i would space the fan shroud out at least an inch. as long as the shroud is still fairly airtight, it will work better than what you have now.

Re: My engine bay (Start to finish) thread
The wiring in this car has pissed me off for years! Its butchered to hell from the pervius owner. Over time i had blown fuses, shorts, sounds and smells electricity you name it. i was going to wait till after i was done with the body work, paint and interior and take it all out to re-do it. i thoght about it one night when i was bored and i decided to gutted it all out. took about a half a hour to get the dash, steering column and wires out. Im so glade i did it!
This is how i ran the engine wires, right under the steering column i didn't know where i wanted to run them when i started to shave the firewall this was just suppose to be temporary, worked ok but inside the car was a different story so I'm running them somewhere else and redoing the engine harness

if its on the outside, thats what wipers are for.

Re: My engine bay (Start to finish) thread
A few other parts came in today one of them being my painless wiring harness. . . After looking at it and reading the booklet im so glade i went this route! guess there's a reason there called painless. Now i will have a more organized harness. I paln to mark and labble all the wires like were they go to etc. I still have to make a new board for the engine ( fuses, relays, etc.) The engine harness i will be using weatherpack connectors at the fire wall so i can disconnect the engine harness quick from the main board makeing it easyer to pull a engine and take things off it later. Oh i also found that boating marine electronics has
alot of net stuff that can be used in automotive applications. The painless kit i bought only has the basic necessities. I will have to come up with a board if i run power windows locks and whatever else i want to run but that should be pretty straight forward and easy to do.

Did you get the washer reservoir mounted? If so, do you have pics?

Re: My engine bay (Start to finish) thread
Ok Im doing the same thing with the firewall (as far as the old heater/ac holes). Im only at the point where I have welded the plates in. And to make it look better im am of course going to have to use filler. But i am concerned from the heat/body flex, etc that the bondo will crack. But I see you did the same thing?

as far as flex bodyfillers have some flexabitly but not much there are many places iv seen body filler go that are questionable areas that would flex under high stress. the firewall for example i woundn't worrie about think about whats close to the firewall the windshield so. . . yea. what i did is i used a short haired fibberglass body filler as the main filler for most of all the areas this filler is alot harder to sand and get consistently smooth so i used a skim coat of body filler over it to fill in pin holes and imperfections
