Merv what fuel rail did you end up going with? The returnless F-body rails that has the regulator on the rails? How does that regulator work with the corvette filter/regulator?

I went with the ones from a 1999 LS1..so returnless. I'm setting them up with the Vette Regulator incase I upgrade to a bigger pump.

The way I figure the Vette Filter will send any fuel back to the Tank..and whatever the Rails need it will have when it gets there.

It works the same way on the Corvettes.

The Corvette regulator is great and simple, I just wish it came on other cars so more parts stores would keep them in stock.

The only pain in the *** is getting the male 3/8" GM Quick Connect..I just used the Fuel Filter I had so at the moment mine is double filtered. I dont think it will hurt anything.

No..Z06 HOTCAM.

218/228, .550/.550, 112LSA

It's untuned..I have to get the exhaust on it before I start tuning on it..sounds pretty raunchy..

The Schrader Valve was loose..easy fix..

I got around to installing the Carpet and made a cover for the Shifter out of some Aluminum. I used a wire wheel to put the brushed finish on it.

I'm in the process of installing the rest of the interior, exhaust going on tomorrow.
