I didn’t have much time to work on the car this weekend, and the Camaro needed repairing too, so I decided to do some easy bits out of the way once I’d finished. I spent a while polishing up the fuel rails that Zane from Zannetec had welded -06 connectors on for me. This got rid of the ugly factory hose connectors that face towards the brake booster, and allowed me to use a boost referenced regulator rather than one on the rail. With them looking nice and shiny, I cut down one of the hoses that I had from when I started plumbing for the Demon carb and fitted it to the regulator. There are two more to do, one for the rail feed, and one for the return. Note to self, wear gloves when your messing with the braiding or you’ll bleed over your new pipes.

I also made a start on the brakes, so I re-bled the master cylinder just to be on the safe side, then made up the lines for the front. First pump of the pedal sprayed fluid everywhere from the banjo hose fittings. Guess I forgot to do them up fully tight then. The passenger side one just would not seal, so I swapped it out for a spare one that seems to have done the trick. I gave them all a quick bleed with a tube back into the reservoir on the rear, they hold the car still anyway. I got some more time Monday evening, so made the rear brake lines up, couldn’t test them as I’d nicked a fitting for the Camaro, so will have to do that when I’m out there next. I also ran the feed and return fuel lines in 3/8″ which was not much fun at all lying on the floor in the heat. Done now tho, just need a hose end so I can make the last two hoses and that’s another one done. I could start it if I found the two missing ignition leads then. Gulp.
