Can we get back to posting photos in your build thread, it's getting kind of wordy lately.

This is a definite "squirrel" moment Ron, but does your heater/AC unit have a air filter? Working on another project and I was amazed at the debris that was clogging my evaporator...Ok, I used the bottom bolt off the steering column bracket and drilled the top hole through the firewall in order to mount the gas pedal. Here's where I mounted the TAC on the pass. side firewall. I modified the pedal a lot to fit, but easy to do.

@Megadoomer , it has a return line. Been trying to find a fuel rail with only the supply. From what I gather, that truly began in 07 with the Gen IV engines.(?) According to LS1swap.com they supposedly eliminated the returns in 04, but several 04/05 rigs I found at the scrap yard had returns
The engine is on the stand ready to be gone through. At the very least it’s gonna get a timing chain, gaskets, and sensors. Gonna wait and see what the cylinders and bearings look like before making any decisions on a rebuild.
Right? Wanting to find a returnless fuel rail - can’t find one. There’s aftermarket aluminum rails that say won’t work with stock manifolds. They must be a hot item.
Insert obvious innuendo here...Glad you're still able to fit that stuff in!![]()
Pablo, they have regulators and fuel filters built together and can mount it right next to the tank, so you only have one fuel line running up to the motor. much safer. These motors like 58 psi fuel pressure and those regulators are preset for that.Is there a consensus as to what is better? I kind of like the idea of a return line after the regulator has made the required pressure and the injectors have had their fill.
But I am also kind of old school...

No, it doesn't. The a/c only draws in cab air, but I'm still worried over time it will clog. This isn't on my top sheet of things to get done this year, but still think a filter of some sort would help. These aftermarket fans don't seem to be very strong and pulling it down with a filter might be a problem too.

Sorry @RUSH55 - hijack over!

Two lines verses one. 50% greater chance of getting a rock puncture, crack, etc. in the return.Safer how? Not trying to be argumentative, but if you are running pressurized fuel from one end of the rig to the other, I have never thought of a return line of low pressure fuel back as dangerous.
You got a pup???We need more puppy pictures.

No. Same pressure either way, the advantage to putting the regulator on the return line is you don’t experience the pressure drop when the volume demand increases on higher performance engines running bigger injectors and pumps.I was thinking about it more and I guess you are running lower pressure fuel up to the engine bay than if you regulated the pressure up at the rail.
