Mitchocalypse is on a distinguished road
most of the fuel system is now built. Just need to run the long lines and mount the filter.

Lucky for me, a friend had his engine sitting on the shop bench so I easily mocked everything up. Here it is:

Pump, filter and regulator:


Here are the rails:


Here is the line feeding the rails. It Y's so the rails are run parallel which IMO is far far better than in series. Only problem with that was getting the return lines to where the regulator was sitting, so the lines had to be looped around:


Here are the return lines / lines going to the regulator on:


And the regulator on. This is from the front (and that bracket is being replaced.. found a nice piece of aluminum at home depot and it is more straight)


From the back side:


and here it is disassembled again:



Then I modified the bulkhead to use -an fittings. These are the fitting:


There were hard lines running down the bulkhead which hooked up to the pump and the return just went down. Those were drilled out to make room for new fittings, and also had to grind back a few brackets so the nylon washers would fit. This kind of shows that:

Top side:


Bottom (in tank) side:


And everything worked easier than i thought it would
