I worked on a few other little things this week, but mostly I was gathering up the last few bits needed for the fuel system and installing as much as I could on the car. The main components are as follows:
1. New SC-style CIS gas tank
2. Carrera fuel pump
3. Added a return line to the tunnel (from a 71T)
4. Generic in-line fuel filter
5. PMO fuel pressure regulator (FPR)
6. Generic 50 psi 5/16” ID rubber fuel line
I think that means parts from all 911 generations from 65-89 are represented! Here is how it looks installed in the rear of the car:
And here is the stuff up front by the tank. The lines from the pump to the tunnel are always “fun”:
One little detail I forgot to add to the car before I sealed up the front was the L-bracket that is used to support the top isolator on the factory fuel pump bracket. I decided to make a custom one using pipe strapping that hooks back to the aluminum cross member. Nice and tight fit, so it should do the trick:
On a side note, I decided to use rivnuts to hold the FPR in place and thought folks might like to see the install steps. There were already two holes on the rear cross member that were centered on the engine bay, but I had to open them up to work with the M6 rivnuts I bought:
