BG inline fuel filter info...
This is primarily for Gtex to correct a post I made a couple of days ago, but may be of interest to others as well.
Th BG inline fuel filter DOES come with male AN fittings on the ends. I was under the impression that it did not. Sorry for any confusion.

Well, I never saw the post where you said it didn't :-)
It's actually one of the better priced filters with that size fittings.
I still have not ordered the goodies yet. I did replumb what I had to flow a little better.

I'm behind the times on how the great fe fuel feed is going with you guys. Ever get you choke figured out Greg? I used to always rip off my electric chokes because they gave me fits. Then I stopped using chokes all together...my current 970hp has no choke horn or choke and it fires right up on a cold morning. Yea, I can't walk away from it for a couple minutes...but I figure its a small price to pay on our performance engines.
Granted, I don't live in Montana or anything.

Also, to answer your question I started installing my fuel system tonite. I put in the -10an fuel cell fittings for feed and return, but can't go any farther till I get a bender for 5/8 tube. Also, I am not happy with the BG bypass. Although BG calls for a -10 return the bypass is threaded for -6. I'll probably put it on ebay and get a mallory 5 port regulator with the -10 feed and return. The BG 220gph pump looks good though, and the filter is very cool looking as well.

Scouder, have you looked at BG's throttle bypass?

The concept behind it makes sense to me, the fuel pressure increases as the throttle is opened up more.

The only thing I don't mention in my sig is that the 460 is a stroker....but the CARB is a Holley 970HP double pumper...which is what I was referring to
I can see the misunderstanding...I WISH my mill put out 970 ponies
It sounds like you have put together a well thought out fuel system thats a good match for your engine...all good stuff.

The pump should supply around 200 gallons per hour at 6psi. The engine should only require about 100 at full throttle with the nitrous engaged. I dang sure hope it'll keep it fed.

Is 6 psi going to keep that monster fed?

Fuel pumps are rated at 0psi free flow. You will get less than advertised volume at operating pressure. You want to look for a pump that will supply the necessary fuel at the pressure you desire to run. Any reputable pump manufacturer will have a graph posted on their webpage.

His mill would surely eat the 428 cj in my '72 for lunch!
I'm pretty sure I'd have to steal his laughing gas if I didn't want him to get the edge over the stroker in my '73 too
I'm looking forward to your dyno report on that monster Scouder.

Engine startup is scheduled for sometime in April. Tranny, intermediate driveshaft, brakes, etc... come after that. I will be getting a chassis dyno number but it will be several months from now.
