Kyle,

I've only run the car in my shop so far breaking in the engine. I've got to go through the brakes first before driving it again. It runs really well so far. I've got to drop the tank and redo the return. At first I tied into the vent tube on the top of the tank but it pressurizes the fuel tank too much. The fuel has to be returned to the bottom of the tank to prevent this. That is my next project. I plan to plumb the return through the sending unit if possible so that I don't have to drill into the tank.

I bought the kit that came with the external fuel pump. I fabricated a plate and mounted it to the gas tank straps to retain the pump and filters. I used the rubber fuel line provided in the kit to feed the engine and plumbed it on the passenger side of the car since it is 3/8" size and used the original 5/16" fuel line on the car as the return.

I also converted the car to an internally regulated alternator to support the additional power requirements of the EFI system. I was able to buy some alternator brackets for a 63 off of a forum member here years ago. I also added a volt meter in the car to be able to monitor the charging of the system.
