Ok, sorry for the shortesh response earlier. It was from my phone.
I got the proflow intake, and also got the proflo Throttle body. The throttle body came with bolts, and a new gasket, so i used those. Its definatly going to be a sae thread, cause its edlebrock.
The Directions that came with the intake tell you the size, and length of the bolts to get. They call for a m6x1x50mm length. I got some from mcmaster car that were allen head, and used a m6 washer. IF you have never bought from mcmastercarr google them, and you will love them.
Let me know if you have anymore questions about the fuel setup. IF you go through the thread im sure i have pictures of all of it.
On a side note, i have a really nice Fuel lab pressure regulator, because i wasn't going to used a boost referenced one at first. I put it on the car, and never used. I have the regualtor which was around 130 bucks, and all the npt fittings to adapt to 3 -6's out of the regualtor. Probably 30 bucks in an fittings. I will give you the regulator for 100 shipped if you want it. Its just sitting on my bench in the garage.(i can get you pictures if you like) As far as a gauge goes, the FPR has a gauge port on it. You can get the cheapy speed inc marshall fuel pressure gauge that will spin right in. This gauge does not have to be super accurate. Just get you in a ballpark, and then the car is tuned for that fuel pressure.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks, Chris

He does do great work, and is really a great guy to deal with in person. I know alot of people actually dont get to go meet him, and talk to him while he works on there car.(im lucky to be local) But he really does make very very very nice parts, and the best part is it does not come out of the shop unless its right. Since he is still smaller he can keep his own two eyes on quality control.
Thanks, Chris
Thanks, Chris
but this car definetly shows his great work.

I have had a lot of people asking me about this alternator mount, so i got some finished pictures from a couple different angles so everyone can check it out.
This is the most solid mount i have ever seen out there, and is all very nice quality and lightweight stuff.
If anyone needs to see it from any other angles dont hesitate to ask.
Thanks, Chris

Got the FPR in today! Thanks for the fast shipping! Looks great. Now I need to get all the plumbing figured out. Ok. The FPR has -6an fittings. The fuel rail has 3/8npt openings. So, I am going to need 4 male 3/8npt to -6an fittings. Do they need to have o-rings? Or can I have Teflon tape? Thnaks for all the help so far.
Would this work?
