EFI Fuel System install

Ford "SEFI"(Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection) requires a feed and return line system, capable of at least 39psi.  Lots of ways to go about this.  For this car I had a few specifics:

1). No fuel lines inside the trunk

2). Fuel pump in the tank (runs cooler and quiet)

3). Room to grow above 500HP without re-doing everything

So with that in mind, I bought a new '69 fuel tank (20 gallons versus stock 16 gallon size), filler neck and sending unit.  The filler neck requires modifications to work in the '66, otherwise this is a straight drop in deal.  To the tank I added a Tanks Inc intank pump setup.

Instead of running the lines out the top of the pump kit, I ran the 3/8" feed hose inside the tank to a -8AN bulkhead fitting at the front near the sender.  There is a second bulkhead with a cap, for an optional twin pump setup (as the eventual power increases demand more volume).

The return line goes back through the original 3/8" sender tube.  This keeps the fuel going to the engine cool, and no aeriation issues.  Out of the tank is 1/2" hose to the Trick Flow fuel filter, and then Stainless braided 1/2" hose to the engine compartment.   The return line is 3/8" stainless braided hose.  This should support in excess of 600HP with 60# injectors. 

Fuel lines to engine:

    Used 10x24 Nut-Serts in the body, instead of self tapping screws.  Later when the stainless tubes replaces the hoses, the same path can be used. Everything is tucked up tight, and well protected by the frame rails and sub frames.

I ran the fuel lines through the transmission tunnel brace near the frame rail to keep it away from the header and exhaust pipe.  From the brace forward into the engine bay, the hoses are covered in heat shield tubes from DEI.  On the feed side, is a mechanical gauge for setting fuel pressure, and an electronic sender for monitoring fuel pressure (gauge mounted in the Rally Pac).  From this point forward I used Earls Pro-Lite 350 hose. The black color blends in nicely.  The Pro-lite terminates into Earl's adapter fittings for the stock Ford fuel rails.  Down the road, it's just a matter of removing the adapters, and plumbing the feed and return lines directly into large aftermarket rails.  No hose changes will be required.

Pretty simple install.  Not too expensive, and plenty of room to grow.  When the car goes on the rotissery, the braided hose will get replaced with stainless tubing for longetivity.

Electrically, the fuel pump relay will be mounted in the trunk along with the inertia switch.  The battery is all ready mounted in the trunk, so power supply is easy to get, and only two wires from the PCM need to come back to the trunk.
