I ran the battery cable today and also plumbed the fuel system.I used -12AN from the cell to the pump,-10AN to the regulator,two seperate -8AN lines to the carburetor,-8AN from the pump bypass back to the top of the tank.The fuel pump is a Magnafuel 500 with integrated fuel filter.Some pics below of todays progress.

Vinny one thing you may want to look into is a adding a tube on the return to the bottom of the tank. Fuel spalshing in from above can aerate the fuel.

Nitrous is definitely in my future plans,I want to get a season out of it first to dial in the chassis then I will consider how much I want to spray it.
Ray,my Chevelle is setup with the return going back into the tank next to the feed and it works fine.I will take your advice and plumb this one the same way.How is the Chevelle coming along?

Question Vinny: In the first picture, off the left (rear) output port, what is the unused fitting? Is that for bleeding the fuel system ? Thanks for the reply.

That line is on its way out to the carb bowl, so I'm guessing it isn't bleeding.. I would imagine he'll have another fuel pressure gauge up on the cowl and that was his best location to tap into the fuel after the regulator.
