New parts coming in thick and fast...
...time to install.
The pump outlet/return ports are female 1/4" NPT, so a couple of 3/8" barb adapter fittings will go there with Gates Barricade 3/8" EFI hose double clamped to the barbed fittings.
I have gone with a Corvette regulator/filter which takes care of regulating the fuel pressure, as well as the return to the tank, so only one 3/8" line needs to be run to the engine.
The filter/reg has a male 3/8" quick connect entry and a male 5/16" quick connect return. Feed to the filter uses a Dorman 3/8" quick connector double clamped to the feed hose.
Because I have a heap of 3/8" hose, I wanted to use that for the return as well so used a Dorman 5/16" quick release to 3/8" barb adapter.
Not sure what the result will be, clamping hose to a nylon fitting where normally nylon hose would be used... we'll see.
Anyhows, running the lines is to come. First: mounting the filter.
Waste not, want not: the VZ Commodore fuel filter bracket was resurrected...
...and pushed into service...
Plumbing to come!
Ooo... almost forgot! Fuel tank went in with the rubber-lined straps...
