Matt was making me feel bad for being lazy and not getting any pictures up of projects.
I used all 3/8" fuel hose. A 12 micron pre lift pump fuel filter from NAPA that I mounted using a large door hinge and some long bolts through the frame for stability. The Walbro FRB5 is mounted on the transmision mount crossmember, some -6 AN full flow hose connections rather than all barbs. Upgraded the filter manager output to 3/8" barb with an 1/8"NPT fitting. To drill that out I used the press and to debur and finish the very back without drilling into the center shaft (fuel input) I turned the drill bit around where it is flat on the tip and that cleaned up the back of the hole. I raised the filter manager with 10mm rod that I cut up and screwed into existing intake holes. boring the ports on the bottom IP fitting was really tough and took a good amount of time. It is really strong metal and it would turn red and I was using oil to cool it and as to not deform it would have to let it cool down after a few seconds of drilling. The screen on it slides right down off of it for access to the ports. The top IP fitting I had a blue aluminum one and had to be drilled out even though it was -6AN, the bottom was 7/16-20 O-ring and wasnt as big inner diameter as 3/8 or -6AN fittings. I have that gauge down by the lift pump, but that was originally a large full flow -6AN check valve, but it leaked fuel (POS cost $80 too, luckily Summit has good customer service)
