I'm using in tank pump. What kind of Fuel fuel filter and locaion? For the last 2 years I have the fuel regulator located behind the water pump see pics and fuel line over the water hose. steel lines with a rubber hose to my holly 600 carb.

Lin, I like what you have already. The stock fuel line comes in the engine compartment forward of the driver a-arm. At least on my 86 it does. Put a canister type on the driver's side and route back to your regulator. Is your regulator a bypass type? The return can be routed thought the stock line in the same location as the fuel source. Wait, don't you have a stock filter along the frame? http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif Rubber hose that covers the pressure that your pump puts out is fine. As far as a crash swith, you are using the stack harness. The fuel pump uses the oil pressure switch to serve that purpose. If you have the stock wiring utilized, if the engine losses oil pressure the fuel pump shuts off. The problem in a crash if the engine does not die, the pump will stay on.
