After market fuel rail with stock F.P.R. How to???

I have an after market fuel rail for my 77z and I am ready to install. My question is. Can I use the stock FPR or should I use an after market FPR. I noticed the OEM FPR has two "fuel-in" lines. Do I use those two or just use one and cap the other.

 

Any installation tips such as FPR mounting and brackets will be greatly appreciated.

You can use the stock FPR if you want, but not many do. You must have an older FPR, the stock one on my turbo fuel rail had only one inlet. It's easier to get an aftermarket one and mount it to the right inner fender with the supplied mounting brackets. Otherwise you have to fabricate one.

You can buy one from Summit. First you need to know what your requirements are. You need to know how you are going to plumb it, so you can make sure it has the right fittings. You need to know what fuel pressure you will be using to make sure it can be adjusted to the setting you need. It should also be matched to the pump for flow rating at your fuel pressure.

 

Personally I could only find one FPR that met all of my requirements. I ended up buying an AEM universal FPR (25-302), because I could adjust the fuel pressure between 20 and 80 psi (I needed to use it at 20 psi until I make my MAF mods - bigger injectors and Z31 ECU don't get along). I also needed it to regulate pressure for any given pump. I am using a Bosch pump right now, a small one, but I may upgrade to 2 pumps in parallel. It also had hardware available to plumb it into hose barbs (with a little work) because I am still using stock fuel lines.

 

So anyway, if you are just running stock fuel pressure and stock injectors, just get a FPR that fits, and adjust it to 37psi.
