After completing the fuel pumps and filters, I ran the main lines up to the engine compartment.

---

Time to mount the Nitrous plate and plumb the system. ;)

---

I purchased some 2.5" carb studs to allow for the increased thickness of the plate.

---

Always a good idea to put a rag in the intake while working with the carb off.  8-)

---

Here you can see the exteded length of the carb studs.

---

New longer studs installed.

---

Then the gasket and the plate.....

---

Then the carb.

---

Side view.

---

I had to modify the throttle cable bracket slightly to allow clearance for the fuel solenoid.

---

In this pic, you can see the angle that I had to cut.

---

Next, mount the solenoids and other hardware, hook up all vaccum lines, etc.

---

Front View.

---

---

Back view, showing the fuel lines.

---

Next, I had to connect the regulator to the carb.
I had to order a few fittings to make the connections.

---

Of course, use teflon tape on all NPT fittings.

---

Because my carb is a single feed- the common fitting is a 'banjo' type fitting.
But those don't connect to a AN line.
So I found out the thread size was 9/16" x 24 thread.
And ordered the adapter to a -6AN line.

---

Next, I mocked up where I wanted the lines to run.

---

Then, just make all the connections. ;)

---

---

Regulators! -Mount up.
:D
Dr. Dre fans will get it.
lol

---

Full view.

---

Now, all I need to do is wire up the fuel pumps.

---

I started with a relay harness that I had from installing my keyless entry and remote start on my truck. I had to modify the wires and pins to work correctly.

---

Finished view of the modified relay wiring,

---

upclose view.

---

With the battery removed, I drilled a hole in the trunk floor and ran my 2 wires to the fuel pumps and secured a good ground.

---

Now it's time to modify the dash for my switches.

---

I'm going to use the area where the radio used to be.

---

I used my dremel tool, to cut out a square.

---

Next, I made a template out of cardboard.

---

Then, I transferred my template to the aluminum and made the cuts.
Next, I clamped the aluminum between two 1x4's and made a 80* bend.

---

Aluminum after the cuts and bend.

---

With the aluminum in place, I used some rivets to secure it to the panel.

---

Back side view.

---

Then, I cut a piece for where the vent/heater controls were (this car didn't have a/c)

---

Next, I drilled 3 holes for my switches- fan, fuel 1, & fuel 2.
The blank space to the right is for my Nitrous arm switch, which I haven't purchased yet.

---

As I'm sure Monte knows, you have to drop the column in this car to get enough room to remove or install the gauge cluster.

---

Next, I wired up all my switches.

---

Picture w/ switches mounted in dash.

---

Then, just reconnect the battery and install the fuses.

---

New, smaller battery box installed.
and that finishes off the fuel system.
;D

Great detailed post Jared!!!

You need to put a video of your car driving so we can hear it. It's one of the best sounding cars I have heard.


Chris

Thanks Chris!  :D
When I started it up last night, my neighbor came over and said, 'I could hear your car in side my house, it made the walls shake!'
All I could say was 'Thanks.'  8-)

Jared

looks good Jared but I thought I would offer a suggestion to you. Would it be possible to remove the rivets and use nuts and bolts or screws? I think a nice set of allen heads would look better than rivets?

That's a good idea, I may do that sometime in the future.

I painted them black, so you can't really see them.
In the pics above, they are still silver. But in the car, it's pretty dark anyway and you can barely notice them at all.

plus, aluminum rivets are lighter, so it's gotta be faster! hehe.

Jared

you shouldnt have said that no people will be taking the bolts out of their cars and putting rivets in instead. ;D

Didn't you tell me that's how you offset the weight of those power windows-
By holding your car together w/ aluminum rivets?
lol
j/k

Jared

looking good cant wait to get a lil nitrous myself, are you going to have to mess with the different jets and stuff like that or what shot are you planning on running.

Planning on a 125 or 150 shot on this motor.  ;)

Jared

sounds good cant wait to race some of you guys when i get done im going down to everything on mine again dont know how long it will take but im not driving it till it's what i want, which i set the standards high this time lol

That's a good philosophy, I think the same way-

'Do it right the first time, and you won't have to do it again.'
