Builds Texas Reds - The Tale of Two Red 40’s

[mrboatman]

I just used the Tank vent line no Tee I depend on the small hole in the filler neck for venting seems to work.

Where does everyone hook the throttle cable up? Mine (from the carb) was forward of the linkage but from what I can see in the images it looks like yours is at the aft of the TBI.

Holy hell that makes so much sense. I woulda never figured that today. I appreciate it sir. BTW..... let me know the next time you come up to Memphis area. Should have my 40 back on the road within a week or so. I sure hope this improves things... I hated that weber.

do you remember if you had to bend that bracket at all? My bracket from lokar doesn't quite look like yours. It doesn't have the 90 degree bend at the end (where the cable mounts).

Maybe a hair but not much

I bent mine just a little as it was hitting the bottom of the master cylinder. Only thing left is the fuel lines under the truck. Ordered 6AN to run it as clean as possible. Only thing I am worried about is how to make the return line not look like shat.

I put heat shields on rubber lines and just ran both in stock locations

I think I got the wrong Lokar kit, my bracket is different. Oh well I will make it work. Thanks for the details in this thread. The gas pedal mod worked really well.

Just to make sure. Its tank to pump to fuel filter to regulator to sniper?

I think I got that wrong. Tank to filter to pump to regulator to sniper...?

 

[wngrog]

Always want filtered fuel to the pump

If you buy the Holley master install kit, it has a pre filter before the pump (20um) and another prior to the sniper (10unm)

When using Mosley’s Sniper kit, on the fuel pressure regulator, which line goes to the pump and which line goes to the return?

So with a 5 micron filter built in this will need to be changed out during routine maintenance

If you have a clean tank, use clean fuel from reputable sources, and run a pre-filter, no. It should not needed to be replaced very often.

Last on the fuel system. Wire the purple wire in the harness to the fuel pump. I used a spare piece to ground the pump.

All right and ready.

Next up. Distributor.

Love all of this. Just got my kit from Cam and starting to put things together. Where did you get the bracket for that mounted the filter to the body? And is that a heat shield around that piece of fuel hose? Where can one find that?

It’s just a generic mount for a fuel pump/filter to the frame. Any auto parts place.

The sleeve stuff as well. Oreilleys
