What are the specs on the fuel manifold? Looks Great!!!!!

 

[sweetdiesel]

Looks great!

Can you find that old post of the pic of mine? Not that its wrong its just a little different and that is why that return hose is a lil longer

Honestly, what ever works though and I am glad you like it.

2 - 1/2" in/out and 4 - 3/8s in/out

You can also use the 2nd 1/2" out for fuel temp or run a pressure gauge or just block it off
