Tony.

does anyone have a link or the text for this rule?
im planning on mounting my FPR to a bracket on the firewall... (LS1 in a 3rdgen leaves some room back there where the distributor used to be)

im trying to keep the whole car NHRA legal, and i have the rule book somewhere (i just moved into a new house) but i dont recall reading about this, and it might effect my fuel system layout plans....

does anyone know?

I believe the FPR must be mounted 6" in front of the bellhousing. My rule book is at home though and I'm at work.

This thread may help:

hmm.
crap.

thinking about it, this rules out both the Y split off, and a FPR... and since the rails end back there, that ruins a clean, straight layout no matter what..

looks like i need to get a measuring tape out and take a 2nd look at everything...
