How may of you guys run metering blocks? I am talking about the ones you use after the fuel pressure regulator? I have 2 carbs on my tunnelram and have the fuel regulator in between the two but I would like to use a metering block to install a gauge? Is this the way to go or am I just mildly retarded?
Also if you do use one where is the best place to install it?

You talking bout one of these ? If so the best place is as close to the carbs as you can get so you know what the pressure is at the carbs.

Here again you want it as close to the carbs as you can get to keep the pressure up and the flow up. If you mount is far a way from your carbs your pressure and flow can very from time to time. As you see I used a few 90`s on my lines. Not all that good of an idea it`s best to use 45`s when you can.

It's called a distribution block, and it's best to use straight fittings when you can.
