Section 3 – Fuel Regulator Installation and Fuel Line Plumbing

3-1. In the vehicle’s engine compartment, mount the supplied fuel pressure regulator in the location established in step 1-

26. Using the supplied mounting bracket as a template, mark the bracket mounting holes and drill to accept a #10
screw.


3-2. Reattach the mounting bracket to the regulator and mount the regulator to the vehicle using two #10 screws, nuts and

lock washers (not included).


3-3. Install one of the supplied AN-10 o-rings onto the ORB (cut-off) side of two AN-10 cutoff to AN-08 reducer union

fittings, if not already installed, and install in each of the AN-10 ports located on the sides of the supplied fuel pressure
regulator. Install one of the supplied AN-06 o-rings on the cutoff side of the ORB-06 to AN-08 male flare fitting, if not
already installed, and install in the AN-06 port located on the bottom of the supplied fuel pressure regulator.

See FIGURE 3-1.

3-4. Install one of the supplied AN-08 o-rings on the port (cutoff) side of four AN-08 cutoff union fittings, if not already

installed.


3-5. Install one of these ORB-08 to AN-08 male flare fittings on the back side (firewall end) of each fuel rail and one on the

front side of the passenger side fuel rail. If there is adequate clearance between the distributor and the fuel rail on the
driver’s side rail, install the second fitting on the front side as well, if not, install the second fitting in the ORB-08 port
located on the bottom center of the fuel rail.


3-6. Starting from the fuel rails, plan a route to run an AN-08 supply line from each fuel rail to each side of the regulator,

see FIGURE 3-2. Cut the two supply lines to the determined length and install the AN-08 hose ends, as detailed in
Section 4.


Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.

3-7. Using the above steel braided hose assemblies, connect one end to the side of the fuel pressure regulator and the

other end to the fuel rails, as shown in FIGURE 3-2, and tighten.
