Default Fuel Line upgrade finnished

well.....got a wild hair and ran 1/2 inch line from tank to carb, and went to a return style bypass system through the regulator.....

Robmc 1/2 pickup to mallory 140 pump to Robmc bypass regulator...using my old 3/8 line as the return (I know, I KNOW....too small)....removed the mech. fuel pump and put a block off plate on.

anyway......system works nice...couple things I noticed right off the bat :

- I can run with less fuel than before without uncovering the pickup and pulling air(a lot less)
- Engine does not lay flat at high RPM....seems smoother?
- Engine seems to drop less RPM between shifts
- still get some pressure drop at WOT (down to 5) but the engine does not seem to notice
- Engine seems to pull very smoothly all the way up the RPM scale

I guess the proof is in the pudding.....on to the track
