fuel system suggestions for NOS

rwhite65 · 07-14-2005, 05:07 AM

after the times that Jester's 347 just ran, if he says you need a bigger fuel line, I would tend to believe it.

The way I look at it with mine, is yeah it will be overkill. But too much is gonna be better then too little at this point.

"Brake Specific Fuel Consumption" means simply that it takes a certain amount of fuel (typically .5 pounds) to make 1 horsepower for 1 hour. We're trying to make 500 for 11 seconds or so. How much fuel is that? A BUNCH!

Here's some GOOD reading from Barry Grant.

So, exactly which and how many -8 fittings will I need for this system?
Holley blue pump with regulator
1/2 fuel line
HG-1 filter

Do I HAVE to buy those expensive AN fittings or is there an alternative for connectors?
JESTER, help me get the ball rolling on this beast.

It all depends on how you're gonna run the line. I'd go with braided hose, at least a short piece from the tank to the filter, and between the filter and pump. Then another short piece up front from the line to the carb.

Fittings... hmmmm. 1 into the filter, 1 out. 1 into the pump, 1 out. Do you have a -AN flaring tool, or can you get your hands on one? I'll throw some tube nuts and stuff in the box when I send it to you, you'll need them to go from the solid tube to the braided hose.

Quick shopping list off the top of my head:
Bulkhead fitting
6 -8 straight hose ends
4 -8 to 3/8" NPT adapters
?? -8 hose
?? 1/2" aluminum tubing

I'll throw some "help" in the box when I send it out to ya.
