Yes outside the frame rails . From sump to filter to pump then run the line to the frame all the way to the front just past the shock tower ( drill and mount it using cushion clamps with self tapping screws ) drill a hole for a grommet run your line though it to your regulator mount regulator to the tower then run line to carb .

 

hey 460capri did u see any gains with the ice box for the fuel??

sorry to hijack thread.

 

Cant tell car was not put on a dyno before and after it would only be a 5-8hp gain cant see it being any more than that mostly did it to help with any chance of detonation and any chance of vapor lock .

 

I built a little street car for a friend and ran both supply and return lines(-8an) up thru the inside of the framerail(entered thru the hole on the end seems like I trimed something a little I would have to go back to look at it for sure.) to protect the lines....worked beatifully...I cut an openingwith a small hole saw for the lines to exit the rail...then ran them up on the outside the subfame connectors to the front.

 

Run the fuel line thru the rocker panel.

Hey guys, thanks for the input, but does anyone have pics of underneath their car? I'd really like to see how it is run.

 

There is no preaty and neat way to do it without alot of effort. Nhra says it has to be outside frame rail. I just got done running one on mine and I kind of followed the factory line at the back over the rear end housing area.Then just ran down the side of the subframe connector and up and over the front tire area, through the headlight cutout in radiator support. I have seen them done all diff kind of ways. I have a friend that builds drag/street cars for over thirty years now and this is how he just did a car he was working on. I wanted to run it up the firewall and mount the regulator to the firewall like I have seen many poeple do. I asked him about it and he said firewalls are not for fuel lines and fuel regulators lol.

 

i believe the nhra wont let you mount the regulator on the firewall, so i mount them to the back of the intake manifold on most of the cars that i do

 

Here are some pics from my roadrace car set-up. Hope these help alittle.

This is the Aeromotive sumped tank, line on the left is the return, line to the right is the feed going to the pump.

This is the feedline going around the p/s of the fuel tank making its way to the fuel pump.

This is the feedline coming out of the fuel pump going over the rear axle heading to the front of the car. I secured and routed both the feed and return lines from here foward.

View of the lines coming from the rear of the car.

View of the lines going to the front of the car.

Then the p/s front wheel well were the feed goes into the Y then to the fuel rails,etc.

Ok dont mind the rust also, this car has been thru hell and back and lets not all forget it is a mustang that was dailydriven its intire life..
Hope this help!

For the fuel pressure regulator i mounted mine to the p/s strut tower. You can't and shouldn't mount it to the fire wall since this is not allowed in most racing rules.

Here is another view of it, its kinda hard to see it with the blower tube in the way, but its there..see the fuel pressure gauge.

Then a overall view of the system. This intire fuel system is Aeromotives complete fox body fuel system from there sumped tank to there fuel rails with everything inbetween..

The -12 lines are for my breather set-up, so dont let that confuse you.

Erik, those are exactly what I wanted to see. Where do you cross over/thru to go from behind the tank to the rocker panel side?

 

I passed the line thru were the e-brake cable goes thru on the front side of the torque box.

 

You can cross over the framerail where the E brake cable does. On a car I help tune the fuel line is run thru the framerail in the rear and comes out the top of the framerail where the E brake cable bracket is in the rear framerail (bracket removed) and a hole drilled in the inside of the rockerpanel and run thru the rocker panel out the front of it. Then follows the wheelwell up to the reg. where the factory air box is. It is a little bit of work but looks great under the car. All you see is just a few foot of line. Most people do not want to go to that trouble but this car has more attention to detail in a square foot than most racecars have in the whole car.

 

I'll get you some pics of the car I mentioned...I will have it at the shop in the next few days to measure for a new driveshaft...I'll shoot some pics then.

 

Thanks
