    The Brass T will be tapped tomorrow for a 1/8" NPT 0-15 psi gauge :cool: and all the lines will be wire wheeled and a shot of clear to keep them classy

    Should I get a Liquid filled or non-liquid filled ?

    Looks good to me, beats black rubber hose any day, and "slddnmatt" how many time have we done that on brake and fuel lines and continue to re-freshen our memories when we least expect it.

    If you are putting a gauge in that Tee, where will the fuel system hook to it? Looks awesome, an outstanding install.

    I will be drilling and tapping into the T and creating my own threads for a 1/8" NPT 0-15 psi gauge :D
     
  10. Looks good.......That system should supply plenty of "GO JUICE" for your SB!

    You know I was going to get a electric fuel pump and regualtor yada yada yada....

    Then it dawned on me why not just use a Simple Carter ( I love the plain look of it ) for a expensive $30 from summit and call it a F'ing Day

    :cool:

    You will like a mechanical pump. If you use a liquid filled pressure gauge it will read incorrect when heat gets to the fluid. the liquid expands when it gets warm and changes the reading. mine was fine when cold, then would read zero when warm. switched it out to an Auto- Meter dry FP gauge and problem solved.

    I would think since its dry and the motor will obviously shake it would eventually break it ?
