new fuel splitter. 6AN (3/8) in, and 2 4AN outs...


with aluminum line run to it


6AN return line... (not pictured)


fuel filter


again


this part pissed me the fuck right off!! ifs god-damned amazing that i have built my car to where it is now (self taught and done by me mind you) and i still didn't know there was a difference between a 6AN flare, and a 6AN tube nut. GUESS WHAT???? they are not the same. so the 6AN flare fitting s thet were brazed onto this to begin with, had to come off and new "tube ends" had to be re-brazed back on.... AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

AND.......... the connectors that Javad sent me for my 034EFI wire harness plug are the same ones that are in the unit plug, SO THEY WONT FIT!!! both are females, no males.... RRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

AND let me just say for the record, that trying to run 3/8 aluminum fuel line thru that space between the frame and suspension IS A MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!! and was by far one of the least fun experiences i have had with this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plus my fingers hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lmfao...lololololol ahahahaha sorry due have to laugh because you actually tried to run a 3/8 hardline between the frame and chassis. I thought long and hard on that one and decided to send a braided line through for that part. I heatshrunk about a foot for protection. I ran hardline from the filter location the subframe. I am surprised you used the earls filter.....i got it and decided it wasnt good enough for a carb car! I went with the russel but am not too impressed with the stainless filter 30 microns just isnt what i was expecting. I chose the factory line for the return line.

Not sure what you meant about tube nuts and an flares. Tube nut and sleeve is for hardline, female end. Flare is male. 6an is still 6an.

Good job though. I see you used pre terminated braided line.....wasnt that more costly than the swivel seal and braided line?

Amen to that brother!

That sucks about the harness connections. Try Radio Shack. I noticed that my Radio Shack sells the same type of connectors that Javad uses.

Yeah man, we were just at a speed shop today picking up a fuel filter for this custom turbo install we are doing on an Avenger, and that Earls filter is meant for a carb fuel system and pressure. Unless you have a filter directly meant for a fuel injection system, then dont run that filter..We just picked up an Edlebrock filter that is meant for injection and flows very well..around 70 bucks(ouch). We were in a time pinch, and could not find or get the right size fitting for the stock filter, so we had to go this route.
