3rd fuel pump

The 3rd fuel pump is in with 2 fuel filters, check valve and fuel regulator. What a pain in the butt! Feed lines and fittings are 10an, all pressure lines and fittings from the OEM pump and 3rd fuel pump are 8an. The fuel line that runs up by the header is wrapped in a high temp silicone and fiberglass sleeve. All parts and hoses under the car are supported by adel clamps and H/D heat shrink tubing. I put torque stripe on all the joints, will help finding loose fittings in future. All fasteners installed with rivnuts and sealed with silicone where needed.

So far run up to 70psi and nothing I installed is leaking.

But, the OEM plastic fitting cracked on me, I guess they really are fragile. So now I have ordered parts to do a repair / upgrade to the output fitting. So after the car show will pull the oem fuel pump when the parts arrive...

This is my outside shop... The Camaro will not fit in the living room...

See for type of repair:

Also a Thank You to my friend FasNuf for the fuel pressure fitting size!
