Edelbrock 573 fuel block location?

I am putting the triple 94's on a 573 intake and wondering how to mount a fuel block. I have a firewall mount but don't want hoses running all over. I would like to use an inline regulator and gauge coming from the stock filter on the 57 Bird to a fuel block next to the center/driver side of the intake. I am using rubber 3/8 fuel line to the carbs so it needs to be mounted. Any suggestions?

Hi, Mark.



Google eBay Motors. After opening the eBay Motors web page, under the colored eBay logo at the top left of the page, enter the number 220824391406. On the same line, go about 5/8 across the page and toggle 'Search'.



When the item page opens, enlarge the ad picture of the 3x2 set-up. Once enlarged, the other available pictures should be shown in the upper right hand corner of the enlarged picture, running down the right hand edge of the picture.



Look particularly at pictures 4, 8, and 6 counting down from the top.



I thought that this was a rather neat bracket and hadn't seen one like it before. This auction is slated to run 'til 8/13/11.



Hope this helps. Smile

Noshortcuts,



Thanks for the link. I had browsed by that auction earlier without looking closely. The fuel block I have is the same. I think my own minimal skills could allow me to fab a bracket like that. The other bracket shown on the table in front of the manifold looks to be for the ignition coil mounted at the back of the passenger side which is another thing I need to deal with.

If you bend up some polished stainless tubing for the thee short tubes it would look very nice.

Gary,



I have been going back and forth on metal or rubber hoses. The metal lines seem to be more susceptible to vibration and leaks. The hoses would absorb vibration. I will probably try doing the metal lines down the road after this setup is tuned and running well.

Mark, here's what I did:

Todd, that looks great. I have a little vintage Edelbrock fuel block I wanted to use, but that looks much cleaner.

grits,

edelbrock also has the extruded polished fuel rails for multi carb setups.

Yup, that's what I have in the picture above...comes with the fittings and lines. Nice little kit.

As with everything they make, they are proud of it. But not having to go out for the brass, or the plugs and line is also nice. I'd do it again if the time comes.
