Remove the reg. line where it "T`s" in the back and plug it. Mighty Mouse has good pictures of this as well.

I'm telling you, man, somebody ought to be selling a "kit"
with a fat forward line, front-mounted regulator & rails
(an ugly cheap option would be nice, don't want to get
started down the bling road) and ALL of the odds, ends,
and instructions to make a properly regulated fuel rail setup
using the stock forward line as return. Tho I guess the tank
would have to drop to get the stock regulator out of the
way. Make that two kits... one for just fat lines and one
with the front mounted reg. Upgrade-friendly would be
a bonus, but I'd buy the fat-line one today if it was no-
worries. Just don't like taking apart the fuel system and
then having to run back out for another part, and one
more....

Sounds like a job for... Nasty Man!

Jimmy why drop the tank?


Makes doing a regulator removal, fuel pump swap, fuel pump filter sock replacement real easy. Don't worry about trade in value, the dealer will never know its there if you don't tell em

Heres the reg out and the new bypass hose...

But you have a good idea, it would save a lot of time.

Have yet to see the "trap door secret location"
for a convertible... I gather they're a lot different
and so far dropping is the only way 'vert people
have been able to go?

We do offer complete fuel systems fittings and all to do the install. I am also going to offer converted fuel senders with Walbro pumps installed.
