thanx for the offer, but i should be ok. well i finally took some pics and got them uploaded so here they are:

ok this last one youll have to tilt yer head to the left to see it right, but here it is:

ok so in the first pic you see the 90º fitting with a vaccume nipple on there, well thats gonna be replaced with a 3/8" NPT plug, otherwise thats what its gonna look like. if you guys or gals have a different way that you would mount it let me know pls.

It looks good but to be honest I don't think the metal you used as a bracket is heavy enough.

 

[beermonkey9417]

yeah, in hindsite i wish i would have had a lil thicker metal. the problem with that is i dont have a vice or a sledge to bend something that thick, but i do have a map torch somewhere. i do have some left over thicker metal from the shifter i installed, it was for the dodge and ford adapters for the shifter linkage. i could use that but all i have to cut it with is a dremil, and thats gonna take a while and prolly a few cutting disks. i do wanna make a better bracket but i just have to wait till i get some moneys and a day off. but before that i NEED to get tires for my infiniti. winter is coming and the ires i have are bald or leaking. so theres that.

I think the AC bracket mounts in those two holes. I wonder if you can do anything with an AC bracket to mount the regulator

it looks possible, ill have to goto a yard and take a look at one. i want the regulator hig enough to where i can read it and also so i dont have a weird bend in the fuel line so i dont chance kinking it. we'll see...

yesterday before werk i see a wet spot under the gas fill door and then i see something drip from there. i smell the wet spot and its def. gas. crap! well i had no time to werk on it before werk, so last night after werk i went under the car and i unplugged the fuel return line i plugged up back when i did my brakes. i hope that solves that. now i need to move that trar before someone decides to flick a cig there...

last week i found that my exhaust was leaking and the car was running like poop. so i bought new gaskets and header bolts,and then i drove it and it still drove like poop. so today me and my buddy did the plugs, gapped them to .035 and one we pulled out was gooped up nasty with oil sludge. i got some ac delco platinum plugs. now it runs wayy better and ima plan on hooking the heat back up.then maybe ill have defrost, maybe. i still got a hole in the heater box from the PO "clearencing" the box for the valve covers. well theres that for now. oh and the gas hasnt leaked so thats good. :lol:

 

[pontiacgp]

sounds good and no mention of any carb fires so I guess the regulator cured that issue..

 

[beermonkey9417]

well i havent hooked it up yet because i still need a 3/8 NPT plug. speaking of that imma go see if i can get one today.
