is there a specific braided hose w/connectors to replace the stock rubber fuel line that comes over the back of the engine? mine has a small rub/nick from the frc. and yes, i did remove the frc's.

Dont quote me on this, but i think speed inc sells one ready made. Or you can make your own. Cost wise, its pretty much a wash. If you want the P/N's for the DIY option, lemme know. I'll dig them up.

really, its not too bad to DIY. A little patience, a little fresh motor oil, a vise and some cursing.

EDIT: did this back in march 07 to hook up the giggle juice.
I wasnt happy tapping into the schraeder valve for my fuel, and i sure as hell wasnt going to use the 'T' fitting and hose clamps to tap into the stock line. Im to anal retentive for either. And i also had to have a place for my fuel pressure gauge sender. So I hit up jegs for the 3/8" quickconnect to -6AN adapters, and some line, fittings, and soome other connectors. Total was about $170, but i feel this is a better solution. Plus, what ever way i go for FI, im ready to connect to FAST rails or Maggie, or a return loop fuel system. Heres some pics.

i looked it up on speed inc and they do have one from russell for 61.99. thats the route im sure to go. my mechanic :cursing: me whenever i want to do something to the goat, nothing seems to go like planned let alone being easy. plus since my "payment" is to remodel his house or shop with little projects, like to make things easy. lol thanks for the pics and directions.

I think this is a pretty good upgrade to make sure that your goat doesnt catch fire (so Ive been told). I think I will be doing this real soon.

so, the fittings are exactly that part number, and the fuel line/ hose is what, just a generic hose or is there a specific part # as well
