patzky1 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 OK, I'm on my second V8Z swap and I can't seem to remember what you do with the ignition transistor and the five wires that go to it (77 sbc carb'd). I know I need the thick blue wire for the tach and the black w/ white stripe also but what exactly do I do with them? The JTR just confused me when I reread it! Also, where do most people run their fuel lines once they pass the firewall going to the carb? On the last conversion I did the whole charcoal canister-in-the-fender thing as suggested but didn't really like it too much. Thanks a ton Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strotter Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Well, I'll chime in about the fuel lines. I ran a 3/8" via more-or-less the original route, which ends up on top of the SBC bellhousing. From there I went directly up (hard line) then to the passenger side (flex line) to a pressure regulator mounted on the firewall adjacent to the bulkhead opening for the wiper motor. Return line plumbed to the original 5/16. Pressure line (flex and hard line) to the carb under the distributor. Sorry, no charcoal canister installed, but while I was living under my car, I thought it might be easy to mount it aft, in front of the fuel tank, adjacent to the pump and filter. Seems like there might be room, and it would be more protected than in the wheelwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
