Thanks for the pics. I'll have to lookup the weatherpak female connector or just hard wire it.
Do you use all rubber line rated for fuel injection or off brand like evil energy?

I have a Holley 12-882 regulator even though Sniper 2 has an internal regulator they still recommend using an external.


Do you use a different regulator? The Holley has some bad reviews.

I use a summit check valve and filter and a aeromotive regulator.

@SquareRoot Are you connecting the fuel injection supply and return rubber hose to any of the original metal fuel lines or running rubber hose from the tank all the way to the engine?

I've read that running that pressure through the original lines isn't a good idea. When I did my conversion, I ended up running a new stainless braided AN line up to the regulator and a rubber high pressure line for the return.

I'm using the OEM steel lines. Only the 3/8 inlet sees any real pressure.
