    Hate when someone has to do something like that. Anyway, looks like you have a nice replacement for the one you sold. Good luck with the swap.

    Made the fuel lines And ran them. -6an fuel lines and vette regulator. Used some Russell adapter fittings to tie in at the tank. Man I love the look of braided stainless!

    Looking good! That new engine should be fun! I ended up flaring the stock steel lines for -6AN. But that braided stainless sure does look good. I also reused the stock fuel filter bracket which made the foam look like poo. I'll do what you did if I ever swap filters. I'll be watching your build and chime in wherever I can help. I also have a 95.

    I actually hooked the fuel pump wire from the LS pcm to the signal wire that activates the stock 95 fuel pump solenoid. Is that a signal wire from the PCM or is it power that should go directly to the fuel pump? If it's power, the wire going to the fuel pump is gray. Let me grab a picture of the underside of my fuse box.

    Edit- here it is. You'll notice the 5 wires on the bottom left of the picture. Those all go to the 95 fuel pump out relay. Green and white is the signal from the PCM, red is the stock pump prime signal, orange is battery power (hot at all times), black is ground, and the gray one that is almost hidden is the power wire out to the fuel pump.
