If you try and pinch it it should be really hard to squeeze anywhere past the fuel pump "OUT" side. 30 some odd psi is pretty tight on efi fuel hose from what I've tried to squeeze.

Shouldn't that RB motor have more psi than a 280? I have no guess but it seems plausible. Carburetors! 😁

I had bought a bad "new reman" alternator for mine that back charged? and popped all my glass fuses. DOA, nothing worked. I asked the guys on here and they suggested checking the fuses. That was the dead giveaway. They were all smoked. Went to get another alternator and had it tested before I left with it. No problems since then.

I've had problems with mine before that were fixed by tightening all the visible screws. My float chamber lids weren't tight.

@hr369 You okay? Still living out there in the Pacific?

I worked the originals to get them back to nice using some details by other members. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=558556033&q=refurbish+emblems+classiczcars.com&tbm=isch&source=univ&fir=4-HdiVefUM44OM%2Cjaod0a149XjJeM%2C_%3BuqIOu36talih7M%2Cke513yL-PQL6zM%2C_%3B8BW-kqSq17E8nM%2CdRUI5cC0IFScEM%2C_%3Bd2IfVEbuiyOk-M%2C6JH9nGdfAk1xHM%2C_%3BcuCqnPdfsXyfXM%2Cke513yL-PQL6zM%2C_%3BuuhvoZIr4FCmMM%2CFuhFzRSwr__paM%2C_%3BKrQ2kJdEmCMSQM%2CFuhFzRSwr__paM%2C_%3BVL6c6vbN7HPT6M%2CFuhFzRSwr__paM%2C_%3BzMAxJK_io2PwZM%2CO-aGqRBshXYpVM%2C_%3BtdeRBadgrV4v7M%2CFuhFzRSwr__paM%2C_&usg=AI4_-kTc6jGlCvuQNr-Juxyj6vEeWPxEGQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_l6rlpuuAAxX8mmoFHejwBUUQjJkEegQIGBAC&biw=1455&bih=688&dpr=1.1

I've installed a 1978 FPR on the passenger's side firewall. The couple of aftermarket ones I tried leaked down. I ran a T out the rail end closest to the windshield, one side going to the CSV the other to the FPR. I've cleaned it up a little since this picture was made. No zip-tie. Don't use a low pressure glass fuel filter like I have at the front end of my rail. It was a temporary way of checking for trash after I relined my fuel tank

That's a pretty high buyers premium at 25%. If that's not for food and alcohol at the sale, they are adding more fees than ever. So glad I got my 2 before Covid. 😇

Like a Gaggle? Hey Mr Greg! I woke up drunk but I'm getting better,

Never heard Buddy Guy play a Gibson, I think. What do you see @kats?

I'm sorry to read you're having issues but you must be the only one out there because when problems pop up they get fixed in the 10 plus years I've been a member. Maybe your device is to blame? If not @bpilatican help.

I believe I'd stop the polishing and sale it as is. That engine bay looks like peanut brittle, most likely the interior too. GLWS

Are the sun visors mud flaps?

Oh man i'd forgotten about this. https://mubi.com/en/us/films/vanishing-point

That happened to my '77. Drove me nuts for 2 weeks. Finally got a hand held mirror and look at the underside of the intake. Golf ball size hole rotted around the egr connection. Look on the inside of your hood, passenger's side there should be a recall fix sticker about the egr clip upgrade.

I have it bookmarked.

My '72 has old opaque looking plastic wraps on the lines through the supports. Maybe the newer zinc plating melted or were lost somehow that away?

In my opinion if the fuel return is working properly, the fuel will not get hot. The rail is bolted to the cylinder head on my '72. I think an electric pump that pushes fuel constantly through the carbs and then back to the tank via the return line would keep it from getting too hot. My 2 cents only. I'm no mechanic just an observant knuckle buster.

That's like an air bag. It might help but it adds weight.

You can push it off and drive it? You may have a failing something in the start up side of business. Starter, solenoid maybe the coil? Have you tried jumping the positive and negative post on the solenoid with the key on, car in neutral with E-brake pulled up tight? I've had efi 280s and carbed 240s but fortunately never had hot restart issues. Good luck!

Try holding it up and down to see if you find the fit. That pocket at the bottom looks like seatback.

I'm almost positive when I had my E-31 updated my machinist was able to use seats for a Dodge Hemi motor, they measured out the same size. Just an FYI little tid-bit.

That black ground looks like the one off the AFM mount. Looking, I found a thread that might be just what you mentioned. Good luck! https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&q=280z+afm+ground+location+classiczcars.com&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjw3-_G4KCAAxVWjIkEHXMCCvoQ0pQJegQIChAB&biw=320&bih=545&dpr=2.25
