Fuel Pressure and Hoses

[Mike Rolica]

I used the original gm fuel injection hose. Goes from steel flare with o
ring on tpi to body fuel line. Regular brass flare (-6) fittings work good.
Then I used brass compression unions to go to the steel line.  I would not
use hose barbs at all. Treat it like you would a brake system.  (i.e. all
threaded /flare fittings).

	I just picked up a set of 36lb injectors for my Olds 403 project
since I
	got them at a really good deal.... the thing is, I think they may be
a bit
	large for my app.  The stock regulator I'm using is set at 39lbs -
how low
	could I drop it before I run into problems?

	Also, what's everyone using for connections of high-pressure hose to
steel
	line?  Is a standard brass barbed fitting ok?
