Anything fuel related or the brake line isn't supposed to be on the firewall; supposed to be at least 6" in front of the flywheel.

I fabbed a bracket and mounted it on the firewall next to the wiper motor. sorry no pics but I could take one if you need it.

I see the above point but no-ones mentioned it during pre race inspection / scrutineering.

Mine's a B-Body but similar inner fenders. I cut a hole in the right inner fender next to the front upper control arm bolt. No bracket needed as the isolator fits in the hole out of site.

The line follows the main fuel line inside the inner fender. Then it passes thru the firewall and across just above the top of the carpet to the dash gauge.

I haven't bothered to isolate mine, and tech has never caught it, so it stays as is...
