Default Harlan, question on vette fpr

My 97-98 vette fpr on the rail seems to be only boost referenced. I had ASSumed it was vacuum referenced as well. Is this not the case or is mine just bad? It doesnt make sense for the bette to have a boost referenced fpr...vacuum yes...boost no.

Should track 1:1 vac and boost. Where are you pulling the manifold reference from?

the incon piece that splices into the evap i think...right behind the throttle body on the intake neck. Anyway, that hose has vacuum at idle going to the regulator but my fp doesn't rise when I pull that hose from the fpr.....I'll monkey with it later when I get to mess with the car again. Thanks for the info!!!!

stupid question, but sometimes its easy to overlook.

im assuming by your other posts you did remove the stock regulator from the tank right? I saw you write "if you remove the stock regulator from the tank, you can then use rubber hose..." but i never saw you write i removed the stock regulator.

keep us updated on the progress, my next purchase is some 9798vette rails.

and question, how did you connect the vette rails, to your hardlines, were you able to just use 2 of the f-body hardline to rail rubber hoses ?

Slow....I hate you! I am thinking.......I am not remembering removing it though........I am gonna look on my bench and see if there is magically, a fpr sitting there....I bet not!!!!

I used the stock fuel line to the vette rail "in"....used a rubber hose from the vette return to the hardline.

Harlan, Did you get my 2-step order? I am determined to make it work.
