Reply to "EFI conversion of my Spyder"

I worked on the fueling system more today.20210221_14331420210221_17093120210221_17101920210221_171152

I installed the hard lines through the chassis. They are 5/16" copper fuel/brake lines from Advance Auto. I used rubber grommets in the back by the firewall. I put some heavy heatshrink where the lines go through the cockpit bulkhead and the front firewall. The shifter and center covers are all put back in now.

Back by the engine I installed brass 90 adapters, and aluminum AN-6 adapters. All set for braided hose to the fuel rails.

There really isn't as much room in the beam area as in a Speedster. The master cylinder just clears the lower tube. I had to put the post-pump filter in front of the beam due to the gas heater exhaust.

I'm waiting on the CB fuel injection T for the bottom of the tank. I've decided not to drill another hole in the tank for the return.

I removed the carbs and linkage, then started the throttle body installation. Of course the intake manifold studs are a little short, I have some longer ones to install tomorrow.20210221_172707

The throttle bodies (roughly 48-49mm) are a port match to the manifolds. I think they look good on the manifolds.

Tomorrow I'll swap the studs and run some braided fuel hose, including the pressure regulator. Then I can finish the wiring and vacuum hose.
