They can be converted to EFI if one is so inclined. Very cool stuff as-is though. Looks like a pretty old casting. Be fun to put it in a mid-'60's A body with a straight axle. This guy does top notch work. Here's his IG page.

Yeah, that looks tight especially with the bracket on the back. Tough one. If you're willing to spend the money, RobbMc makes a 1/2" pickup with a 1/2" return. I had one before I went to EFI, it worked good. I used reducer fittings to step down to 3/8" line. I didn't use a return so it was...

The flat face of the sending unit.

What exactly are we brazing onto the tank though? I'm not sure it makes sense to just stick a fitting or some such thing onto the outside of it. The bulkhead fitting I linked to was literally made for this exact purpose and from my point of view it looks to be much easier to deal with and a...

I'd look into something like this - fuel line return bulkhead fitting. No brazing needed, just need to drill a 9/16" hole in the sender face.

I think we scared him off. Holley EFI is cool and fun but it's really not for everyone. You have to go into it with your eyes open in terms of the overall cost and the commitment it takes to get it sorted out. If you only put a few hundred miles a year on your toy then keep your money in your...

I don’t know what your skill level is but since you’re asking in a very general manner, it’s probably not worth it. First and foremost, you will need a thorough understanding of electrical systems and must be competent at wiring. Most aborted installs are because of wiring-related failures...

There you go, thanks DemonX2 and Jeremiah. Presumably you both drive your cars on the street? For my own edification, I spent an hour trying to bend a hard line to fit in this spot and it's definitely a no-go. No way to get the bends tight enough. Here's the better-fitting hose.

I over-complicate EVERYTHING, it's what I do. When you have a brain like mine that considers all the angles and the pros and cons of each possibility, every detail becomes all-consuming. Analysis=paralysis.

I’m using a 904 trans. Rarely, if ever do you hear about them violently exploding at the drags. I’m sure it has happened but I don’t recall ever reading about it occurring in any sort of dramatic fashion. OTOH, 727s do have more of a tendency to blow up. At the level most of are at though I’d...

The factory routing puts the fuel line exactly where the "rule book" says it shouldn't be - along the inner frame rail next to the trans bellhosuing. Right or wrong, factory methodology does not necessarily equate to what is in the rule book. I actually had it the OE way before and I never got...

Thanks. I'm really not sure how else to do it. From the outer bulkhead you have two choices - through the wheel well or in the space between the firewall and frame - I chose the wheel well. Frankly, I don't want to get involved with making a shield on top of the inner fender, it just seems...

I guess I can make something, I'll look at it tomorrow.

OK, how would you go about that? I thought heavy, clear plastic tubing over the hose would work for extra protection.

After looking at this 19 ways to Sunday, this is what I came up with. Unfortunately, this particular line is too short so I will have to make another one. Only needs another inch or so no big deal. There needs to be a little more give in it. It's pretty far out of the way here and fairly...

I have so many fittings... AN fittings and hose ends are a worthwhile investment because work really well. Really have not had many if any leak on me over the years. They are generally reusable too.

Do you have pics of how you routed the lines in the wheel well? I can guess how you did it but pics always help!

Thanks. Guessing there are no concerns with having the lines down low in the front wheel well or they wouldn't be there. I'm really leaning towards that method because of the way it would come in to the engine bay. If your line comes through in the front you have a much longer length than I'd...

I can sorta make it out towards the front. Presuming you drive it on the street? What kind of hose?

OK, to be clear - from the rear to the front is already hard line with gravel guard. From the tank it runs along the inside of the wheel arch and up the frame connector to the trans cross member. That part is done. I am only concerned with the area next to the transmission bellhousing and how to...

For the last couple days, I have been agonizing over how to run the fuel line in my Duster. Every method I have come up with has some major flaw whether it's too close to something it shouldn't be, is diffricult to execute cleanly or may open a different can of worms. Right now, the cleanest...

Agree. Holley Sniper/Terminator user here. Data logging is a really helpful tool as is the ability to build your own tune. If you’re willing to use a laptop to make adjustments after the initial set up the Holley software is very good. Sniper has limited features and I don’t believe it’s even...

Brass NPT adapter, you can get them at any decent hardware store. Which fuel pump, Carter aftermarket, Holley etc. or OE type with hose barb fittings? If it has threaded inlet and outlet ports you'll need an adapter but if it's got a hose barb then you can only use a rubber hose. Also, what...

Yes. Those blue plastic clips are for late model lines that have a bead about an inch or so up the line, not a flare. To use that fitting you'd have to be able to make a bead in the tubing but even with the right tool it would be almost impossible with the bend in that short length of line. To...

Not sure why people think that EFI will leave you stranded any more than a carburetor would. My only guess is that there is a mistrust/misunderstanding of electronics. I have a Sniper on my ‘68 Coronet. Yes, I’ve been stranded once but it was not the fault of the unit. I re-did the wiring...

Bummer!

Any updates? How did the dyno session go? Inquiring minds want to know.

I suppose its always good to know what you have but honestly I’m not sure a dyno is going to provide any earth shattering insight for you. It sounds like a relatively mild street car which means that it’s going to spend a lot of time at part throttle. If you have the Sniper controlling timing...

Have you made your own config file or is the dyno shop going to give you one to get started? What is the combo and what is the application, drag car, street or...? Did you dyno the engine already? I was wondering about this myself. It takes a while for the system to learn, a single WOT dyno...

If you’re willing it would be cool if you document the rebuild and of you decide to make parts that would be amazing. Don’t get to see the insides of those things too often.
