Hi
Rusty;
I don't see your regulator in these pics? I assume you've
firewall mounted it? What kind do you have? I'm looking for one that is
adjustable, manifold referenced, remote mountable, exchangeable
fittings and cheap (or at least not too$$$)
Paul; It looks like your TWM regulator may fit this?
Can the tube/hose fittings be changed? How much$$$?
I'm
about to build a new fuel rail, however I've changed my mind (again) about how I
want to do it. Instead of aluminium, I'm going to use steel for the simple
reason that heat absorption is much, much lower, helping to prevent vapour lock.
I also plan to keep the fuel at high pressure until it returns through the fuel
cooler, then will reduce pressure with the regulator located within the cooling
shroud over the fuel pumps.
My reasoning is that fuel kept at a higher pressure will
stay in a liquid state which will transfer heat much more efficiently than a
vapour, so will cool better while passing through my fuel cooler, then when it
does pass through the regulator which is located inside the cooling shroud, so
the fuel will be cool enough to never flash into a vapour as it depressurizes.
Then it can be reintroduced into the pump feed line, eliminating the need for a
header tank or fuel returns. An adjustable regulator will allow me to increase
the pressure as well, similar to what is done in a modern returnless system,
however it will still be referenced to manifold press.

Heah, RD. How about a pix of the
TB/intake?

You're in
luck. I actually took the camera today :-) I scaled these way down from the default resolution, but
I'm going to send them in three posts to avoid ringing the bell on Marvin's
software.
