This is a completed look at the Paxton fuel-pressure regulator, fuel-line fittings, and properly routed fuel lines.This is a completed look at the Paxton fuel-pressure regulator, fuel-line fittings, and pr The Paxton Street/Strip 150 fuel pump should be mounted in a secure location that isn't near high heat sources. Mount the pump as close to the fuel tank as possible in a location that is the same height or lower than the fuel tank. After scouting around, we found a secure mounting area on the inner framerail just ahead of the rearend housing.The Paxton Street/Strip 150 fuel pump should be mounted in a secure location that isn't ne Position the fuel pump's mounting bracket and mark the location of its mounting holes. Then remove the bracket and drill the two mounting holes. Afterward, attach the bracket to the frame using two mounting screws.Position the fuel pump's mounting bracket and mark the location of its mounting holes. The Slide the Paxton Street/Strip 150 fuel pump into its mounting bracket and then tighten the bolt that clamps the pump to the bracket.Slide the Paxton Street/Strip 150 fuel pump into its mounting bracket and then tighten the The stock steel fuel line will need to be cut to allow the new Paxton pump to be plumbed in line. Before cutting the steel line, use steel wool to thoroughly clean the line at the location(s) you will be cutting. We used a small tubing cutter to cleanly cut the stock fuel line in front of and in back of the Paxton fuel pump.The stock steel fuel line will need to be cut to allow the new Paxton pump to be plumbed i To generate a good-looking, easy-to-work-on setup, we installed AN-style connector fittings on the end of the steel fuel line. Here, we install a new compression fitting on one end of the recently cut steel fuel line.To generate a good-looking, easy-to-work-on setup, we installed AN-style connector fitting We ran a short piece of fuel line (high-pressure, high-heat hose that is NHRA-approved) from the fuel pump to the new fitting attached to the stock fuel line. Once the line is cut and installed on the fittings, the rubber line can easily be removed if repairs or upgrades are needed.We ran a short piece of fuel line (high-pressure, high-heat hose that is NHRA-approved) fr After the Paxton fuel pump is installed and the fuel lines are attached, begin wiring the electric pump. Here, wire terminals are crimped onto the fuel-pump wires. You'll need to get 12 volts of power from a source that's regulated by the ignition switch--specifically, a source that doesn't deliver power once the key is in the "off" position. See the enclosed wiring diagram for specifics. It would also be a good idea to wire the pump to an oil-pump switch that will turn off the pump in the event of an accidentAfter the Paxton fuel pump is installed and the fuel lines are attached, begin wiring the Here, the Paxton pump's ground wire is attached to a clean spot on the framerail. This is a completed look at the Paxton Street/Strip 150 fuel-pump install. Note how the fuel lines and wiring are cleanly routed and aren't located near anything that will snag or burn them.This is a completed look at the Paxton Street/Strip 150 fuel-pump install. Note how the fu After the fuel system is installed, turn the ignition key to the "on" position to verify proper pump operation. The Paxton pump will likely need a few seconds to fill up the fuel lines with fresh gasoline.Afterward, start the engine. Finally, adjust the Paxton fuel-pressure regulator so that it delivers the proper fuel psi to the carburetor. (Holley carbs like about 6 to 7 psi, whereas Quadrajet carbs like about 5 to 6 psi.)After the fuel system is installed, turn the ignition key to the "on" position to verify p SOURCES Paxton Products 1260 Calles Suerte Camarillo CA « | 1 | 2 | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?
