What about your fuel lines? What size/kind of line(s) did you use? Did you put in a return line? If so, how is it plumbed? Do you run electrics and mechanical pumps?
Thanks,

Hey John, I ran 8AN (1/2") braided hose from my "near tank" mounted Holley Black fuel pump 'n filter up to a 3 way bypass style Aeromotive fuel regulator mounted behind the engine's intake. I have a 8AN return braided hose running back from the regulator to and discharging into the top of the fuel tank. I have an 8AN fuel line running from the regulator outlet up to the inlet of the new fuel log. I've 6AN (3/8") braided hose/fittings from the fuel log outlet to both 750 carbs. It all works well, the fuel pressure stays dead nutz on and I NEVER starve for fuel. It's not OEM looking but it works great.

I had terrible probelms with single fuel line system with flooding the carb at idle. I'd originally thought it was a fuel boiling in the lines problem but found out otherwise. All is well now.

Dave
