Yesterday I journeyed to Summit Racing. It is like the XXXmart of performance parts. Over the last few weeks, I've been putting together a wish list on their website and double checking everything in preparation. Then we get down there, and find that pretty much everything I had picked out was wrong.
No matter, most of the the sales guys there are very helpful and don't mind helping you pick out exactly what you need.
First, I had picked out a fuel pump that was cheap, and what I thought would meet my needs. When I looked at it, it turned out the fittings for the inlet and outlet were simply hose barb fittings. I was attempting to keep everything to AN type fittings. That gave my mentor and I a pause. After some discussion between us and the sales guys, it turns out that the fuel pump would not generate enough pressure for the injectors anyway. Check my parts list for the fuel pump I picked out in the end.
This also forced me to change the inlet fittings to -8 AN fittings. When compared to -6, these look huge. So, I had to change all in the inlet hoses too. A few more changes, and we had everything I think I need.
So, now I have an -8 AN hose running from each fuel tank to a tee fitting. Then another -8 AN hose up to the fuel pump. A few fittings, and the fuel filter is screwed directly to the pump. From there, its -6 AN up to the fuel rail. There are a few more fittings up at that end too.
