5.0. EFI Conversion to '69 Mustang

Thu May 22 23:38:31 GMT 1997

Text item: 

I have installed a Holly throttle body kit that has the inline pump.  I 
modified the sending unit in the tank by adding a return fitting and 
used fuel lines form a similar car to make the return lines.  The 
regulator is on the TBI unit.  Most, if not all, EFI systems have a 
regulator and return line.  I have a low pressure filter between the 
tank the pump and a high pressure filter in the engine compartmemt.  The 
pump is mounted low between the tank and rear axle to be sure that the 
pump is not starved.  me
