84' Cutlass pro touring build

I forgot are you using 1 and 7/8" headers?

Fuel lines and filter/regulator started. Anyone see any issues with running lines like this? I can reroute them easily if necessary

Nope, 1-3/4" headers.

Mine are run very similar. I even used the factory body location above the axle for p clamps. Works perfect.

I’ve never been a fan of running electrical battery cable directly beside fuel lines. One mishap, spark, or anything else unthinkable, and you’ve got a rolling fireball on your hands. All it would take is to drive over or have a piece of debris on the road pop up and hit the battery and fuel lines at the same time.
Sounds highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

If you can, I’d strongly consider routing one of the two on the other side, probably the fuel lines because it looks like it’s needed on that side anyways.

I can do that. But considering having the solenoid in the trunk so it's only hot when starting and was going to run all other wires on drivers side.

Good idea, that’ll work too. Anything you can do to make it as safe as possible.

So I found this picture of the wix filter and regulator. I have mine mounted about 18 inches forward of this and from this picture it seems there would be no room once body is on frame. I can move it back towards this location but can anyone tell me how much room there is between the frame and lower body? I guess I could take some measurements but someone here might be able to say yeah or neigh. Btw this is on hot rod regal website plus I have my frame boxed so there is even less room. Maybe 1/8th plus inch less
Thanks

From this view it looks like my battery cable would be a tight squeeze. What am I getting myself into!? Lol

I was kinda curious when I saw your pic of regulator mounted on the frame. I'm at work and don't have pics of it, but there isn't much room between the frame and body once joined. I have my fuel lines and battery cable ran and I couldn't see mounting a regulator like your's there. The hotrod regal method looks better, or even mounting it closer to the tank/cell.
