Default Corvette regulator on camaro

I have seen a write-up somewhere on using the corvette filter/regulator on a camaro. My current regulator is not functioning and I don't think replacing with a stocker will be my best bet. Can someone point me to that write-up or give me a rundown on any fabrication needed to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

You can look at my pictures for some help. My 98 the regulator in the tank was on a line, so deleting it was simple and I just got some IN TANK safe 3/8" hose to run it down to the bucket sort of like stock.

After that filter you have pictured on the left is a large T and you can see just part of it there. The stock plastic line should go on the center feed of the new filter.

Then you will have to adapt the threaded stock outlet to the new filter (can't help as I used a Canton).

Your old return will have to be plugged. I used those GM to -an adapters like the blue ones shown and then put a -6an cap on it. The hard line goes to plastic near the axle and can be capped there. (Earl's makes those adapters where they thread on and don't rely on those plastic clips, use that style and skip the ones with clips)

You can then run a new return from the new filter to the old plastic return line that is loose at that point.

Get the Earl's or other adapters that thread closed only.

Filter and return line T just forward of it.



This is just in front of the axle where the hard lines switch to plastic before running to the gas tank.

I have not taken the T a part, but like the front filter fitting it is probably a 45 degree double flare connection. I don't know if they make fittings to cap that internally, but you can just pull the plastic line before the tank and cap it there since you need that line anyways unless you run a new line.

Makes perfect sense now, thank you for the pics.

I found these adapters from earls but they don't seem to screw on.

Part # AT991966ERL.
Am I looking at the wrong ones?

Got the kit this weekend from WS6 Store. It couldn't be more complete and hassle free!!
It even included the fabled Earls fittings.

Thanks again
