You can run a Y block and eliminate the banjo bolt. IIRC the fittings at the back of the heads are 5/16" pipe thread. If you can bend steel lines and have a flare kit, you can do a nice clean setup instead of using the banjo bolt.

The fittings in the heads will accept 5/16" line and compression nut. Where they screw into the heads are 1/8" pipe thread.

Well my truck now is fueled electronically. there was a couple of problems tho. I hooked everything up and let it idle for awhile and set the psi to 70. we than noticed a small leak coming from the pump set up. It ended up being all the fittings on the filter housing wernt properly sealed and were leaking diesel out. Other than having to reseal the fittings everything went fine and the set up is great. i notice a easyer start up and idle. Also more throttle response.

Other question. Is how often do you guys change your fuel filters? just every oil change or do you guys go by how many miles. Just trying to get an idea on how often i should.

Yeah definitely, How often do you change your filters? The ones off this kit run the napa ones. Imm thinking about running cat filters or even the Stanadyne fuel management filters.

I don't see any problem with the Napa filters. I havent run min enough to even change, but around 7500 is what I do.
