Don't use the vette regulator and the Delphi fuel bucket at the same time....simply add a T like I did in the above pic. The Delphi "magically" regulates the fuel...sends what's left over back into the bucket...and the correct pressure down your "V6" fuel rail.

If you don't have a short fuel line to "T" the fuel feed back into the bucket...go to napa or another parts store....be sure to tell them it's for ~60psi fuel pressure.

How much did all that cost? I'm not good with fittings, and AN fittings look expensive.

Does anybody have ideas on where to buy stock fuel lines? I can't find a part out local, and shipping would be outrageous.

I used -6AN fittings and one line from summit racing..I believe they are summit brand or russel racing. All of the lines and fittings are cheap( under $50 shipped). My local car quest could get them..but I ordered from summit. My local car quest did make me up the black high pressure fuel line in my picture ( link from nastyz28.com). Post up or pm a pic of your setup... I'll help you pick the right components.

I think I've got this figured out. I bought a T from napa with nessecary fittings, as well as a flaring tool. I just cut a section out if the feed line, flared it and added the T. They I cut the return and added it to the T. So now I have a v8 setup!

Now I need to do the trap door method to remove the pump and fix the hose. I just had my 3" exhaust welded up so I can't drop the tank anymore.
