The 2 Lines goin into the Filter/Regulator are the feed/return lines. The one goin off to the side is the EVAP Canister Line.

Ok so your two lines coming from the tank go into the filter and the other goes to an evap line? And how did you hook these up on the fuel rail side

find a stock 98 wrecked somewhere and put those fuel lines on your car...they are a direct swap....the regulator goes inside the tank on the return line...cost me about 15 bux for it all

run c5 reg/filter by the tank, return the fuel into original return
port, for lt1 using stock return line.
plumb c5 reg. in line with lt1 fuel line, fuel rail fitting for the original,
lt1 feed is the same as ls1,
plumb stock fuel line to ls1 fuel rail,
idk if u that helps.

no your stock pump is fine...just use the 98 furl linnes from the tank(or about 2 feet rom the tank the lines dicsonnect, you can go from there) all the way to the fuel rails...

and the regulator is in the tank on the ls1 on the return line...
it will fit into all the factory looms from front to back clips in ect

yes
youll need to remove your fuel pump assembely and the ls1 regualtor is a simple clip on design inside the tank and it returns fuel into the bucket...you need to put this inside your lt1 tank

The easiest thing you can do is what the_merv posted a pic of. The two lines on the right are the pressure and return from the tank. The line on the left is a feed line going to the stock fuel rail.

I did basically the same thing but mounted it under the car in the stock location. and modified the LS1 fuel lines from my donnor car.

Re' man I am sorry I sound like an idiot on this subject. So that unit is a filter in the pic? Someone told me that I can buy a regulator and fuel rail off a 97 vette and it will all plug together just like my stock lt1 stuff did. Is this correct?
