I run A1000 mounted right above the tank, pre & after filters, # 8 feed line, # 6 return, their regulator, 700+ procharged 509 EFI, no lift pump, the std A1000 is not CC approved...
|
The A1000 (PN 11101) has the AN threads - the marine version is the 11108 (CC approved) only comes with the ORB threads...but Aeromotive has the conversion fittings as well to compensate for this.
The 11108 is also $70 more than the std. A1000 and the marine regulators are also about $50 more for a carb application |
So is there any difference between the A1000 and the 11108 other than the CG approval and the black anodizing? The inlets of both bumps use the ORB-10 inlet and outlets
|
Finally got this project going. I will document it and post up as the install goes. Just waiting for the plumbing fittings to come in.

I'll be watching, thanks!

From what i hear, efi pumps suck when they have to suck fuel. That is why virtually all automakers put them in the tank. Taking out the anti-siphon valve in pick up is considered by many to be a bad idea. Running mech pump for lift and leaving anti-siphon in place is a safer bet.

Here is the final result
First thing was to figure out how to cap the regulator at the end of the fuel rail. Being a plumber came in handy. I pulled the brass nipple out, took the O-rings off, heated it up and soldered a "plug" into the opening. Worked perfect.

Hooked up to the fuel rail supply. Had to get creative to adapt onto the goofy flare fitting merc used. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f9...6E64CF1174.jpg Routing from the pump to the regulator over the engine. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f9...B7380E7562.jpg Quick run to hoover dam since I had a flat on the trailer that I saw as we were putting the boat in the water.... Always something..... But this is the first time the boat has ever ran this amazing. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f9...4780B1665F.jpg Let me know if you guys have any questions. More than happy to answer them. Total time to perform this was about 12 hours and 2 36 packs of beer. |
Did you use the return line ? How come you left the return line in a capped that ? I understand you returned back to the gas tank. That's why I am asking about the stock set up return line.

Ok I thought you met u solder and capped it off completely. That's why I had to ask to make sure we were on the same page. I fully understand it. I just over thought what you were saying about the cap & soldering it.
