I am very interested in this setup, I have been wanting to do this on my 370 for a while but the main thing holding me back was being able to drive it on the street. I called fueled, waiting on a response. The only lights I see you have on are the VDC and traction slip lights. Are you able to get this inspected? If so which Ecu gets used at inspection station? Also why did you opt for an auto instead of 6spd?

Please replace the AN adapters for the fuel rail (and the fuel filter inlet and return) that use the plastic clips before you burn your car to the ground!

I second that, those must be pretty old stock to have those. They replaced those with a billet aluminum piece that screws in and captures. Don't let your hard work become a bonfire!!

Andrew - This may be a little bit of a newbie question, but can you please expand on this? I am collecting parts for my swap and want to make sure my fuel system is not a target for Smokey the Bear. Do you have pictures with arrows saying what not to use and a link to what I should be using? Or possibly a thread I can read?

Thanks,
Jim

the Russell push-lock to AN fittings come in two types. One has a terrible design flaw that will cause it to pop off and spray fuel everywhere. The other does not.

Do NOT buy the ones with the plastic inserts. They're the same inserts the OEs use, but Russell screwed up the implementation. I've had them blow off at the track. We've had customers blow them off before we sent out replacements. Get the two-piece units.

Car-B-Q special on the left, good fitting on the right.
