Like the bracket that wouldn't fit my situation, they probably designed the Magnafuel line kit with the idea that anyone using that regulator is most likely using a Dominator.


True, I am about to take a quick drive to the shop and figure out which style of Holley bowls I have on the carb and one of the techs from AED said depending what it is, will determine if they can go ahead and piece together a kit for me. If they have hard lines that will work then I am golden and can skip the bracket.

I see them mounted on the eng all the time. Mine is on the fenderwell but thats because I was given the lines from the reg to the carb and they were already nicely done at that lenth so it worked best just mounting it on the inner fenderwell but I mounted my friends on his eng as his worked best there.

I have a 505 C.I. 400 stroker bracket motor that makes 678 HP on E85 using a 1150 Holley Dominator converted to E85 with annular boosters, it has .150 stainless needles and seats in it. I use a #6 AN Teflon lined Stainless steel hose from the Magnafuel 4 port regulator to each carb. bowl, #6 AN I.D. is .375 work scope I was able to enrichen the jeting on the engine dyno test one jet size from what that carb. came with and lost power by being to fat with that set up. I ended up jetting it down 3 jet sizes to make max HP and torque, that was on a DTS engine dyno in Klamamth Falls Oregon which is at 4300 Ft. above sea level shruggy I have not tried jetting it up enough to slow the car down in MPH at a 1/4 mile track yet, we race at Madras which is 2500 Ft altitude and it is a 1/8 mile track shruggyIHTHs up

I was wondering when someone was going to point that out. Even with a "sewer pipe" .150 E85 needle/seat, that opening is far more of a restriction than a few inches of smooth-bore .375 hose. Even less of a factor for gasoline carbs.

I like to use #6 Teflon also because it's impervious to any fuel, and also significantly smaller in diameter than the braided steel rubber hose. Doesn't cost that much more either up

I talked to Patrick at Pro Systems yesterday and I could have sworn he said use #8, but he assured me that #6 would be fine. Sorry for the confusion
