Our HNN (Hillbilly News Network) photographer managed to snap these pics of a new fuel managment system under secret development at the Wideopen545 shop today in spite of the "strict" security around the place.
:rolleyes:

That is a sweet looking fuel rail for sure, but I hope you're not going to use one regulator, unless that is a bypass type regulator.

Where does the line from the fuel pump hook to. Post a picture when you get it installed. I may make a log like that. Did you read the bypass regulator thread we have going in the Blower Motor forum.

the line on the bottom is a number 10 out of my pump into the reg with two number 8 into the 1 inch log four number 8 out to carbs 7 1/2 psi on the log 16 psi at the reg and 18 psi return off the pump
pump has a bypass built in

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! That has Star Wars written all over it. ;)
Nothing like the ease of a 3/8" rubber hose and couple of hose clamps. Between your engine and Rat's, you guys make mine look like a Briggs and Stratton. :D

Damn Wideopen, you're moving too fast, we can't keep up. That 4 way regulator is what I had to start with. Then I saw your log and I liked it. Seriously, my 4 way has worked ok for several years, but others feel like the bypass setup delivers more fuel, so I'm going to try that with a log simular to the one you made.

I'm running a by-pass set up.............and love the simplicity of it, no regulator to deal with. Fuel pressure maintains a solid 8lbs. :cool:

i was going to the bypass system and then found out i would have to change pumps my pump has a bypass made on it and if you cap it the pump it will not last anyway i have a nice log for sale if anyone can use it
also got a call today might have the blower motor sold that is in the boat
