quadrajet plumbing question

Paul- One thing I've learned in the Q-Jet business is that everyone's car is different and some things are not set in stone. I still believe the system I described is ideal because the y-block set-up acts as a reservior for more available fuel to the carb., and mounting the regulator in front of the carburetor allows inertia to work for you pushing the fuel into the carb. I know that Phil is really high on the brand of fuel system they run and that may have something to do why their system works as well as it does. Maybe someone else's pump and regulator wouldn't work with this plumbing arrangement. You must understand that needle & seat size, bowl volume, line size, and fuel pressure all contribute to an effecient fuel system. Obviously, Phil and Frank have everything working together to perfection. Hope this helps. Danny

Hi, my name is Chris and i'm new here. We are building a SA car so everything has to look stock right down to the pump, carb fuel etc. I have a spare BG400 and reg, keeping in mind that regulator/lines all have to be hidden and stock looking how would you guys build this return fuel system. I'm gutting the stage1 pump and installing a bypass in the can part off the pump, Thank you........ Chris Skaling
