Fuel Lines

The V12 carbs used a low pressure fuel pump but the V8 uses a high pressure EFI pump. I removed the old pump and mounted this EFI pump behind the fuel cell. I would have liked to mount it lower but it would interfere with the diffuser.

And I mounted a new fuel filter along the frame rail. Notice the fancy clip-on connectors just like the factory uses. The filter is going to be around 5 inches from the exhaust pipe and I hope heat isn't going to be a problem. If it is, I'll construct a heat shield.

After the fuel filter, the lines (pressure and return line) run inside the frame rail and pop out just behind the battery.

And attach to the fuel rail and regulator.
