It's time to replace my Carburetor, with a Fuel Injection system from FiTech. Have you ever wondered how to do it? How hard is it? What's involved in the process? Me Too! I've never done it before either, let's see how it goes... In this video, "Fuel Injection Conversion, Part 6: How to Plumb with AN Hose" I go through the process of how to install and cut Stainless Steel braided AN hose, and AN hose fitting from FiTech and Fraggola. If done properly, AN hoses will never leak! While this is for my 1969 Pontiac GTO, it is applicable to almost all makes and models of carbureted cars.

Thanks for all the videos! I'm doing a "restomod" on my 68 LeMans convertible I just got back. I had it in high school 20+ years ago. Getting a lot of useful info from your videos, since I have never done any of this either. I'm in the military, stationed here in Cali and live on base so no room to do all this. Been trying to get some stuff done to it back in Texas. (nightmare) As soon as I get the space or take small trips back home, I'll hopefully be putting these videos to good use.

Sorry, I'm binge watching your stuff while having a couple of beers, lol! But, the holley minimites along with the carters ect. don't have enough head pressure to be mounted reliably above the tank. They need to be mounted close to the bottom of the tank, even if the suction comes out of the top of the tank. It increases head preassure. If you guys find them going out relocate them close to the tank along with there filter behind the rear axel with a custom made simple bracket.

Good video, thank you. I like the way you have the fuel line coming into the throttle body. I think you should make sure to do something to protect your break line from vibrating against the bolt heads and bracket of the new fuel filter.

@FastMonty 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, and Agreed. I can't remember if I mentioned it, but yes, I used the same rubber coated clamps for the brake line at that spot. Thanks for watching!

@vythinathanduraiswamy3430 Жыл бұрын

Thank you Mike for the excellent video esp for the right pace of speaking and the video capture of the process details. Even I as a beginner enthusiast can follow and understand! Question - can I use rubber hose and AN fitting to run fuel from the fuel distributor to fuel injector? I read that due to very high pressures, metal tubing and brazed ends are a must. Even securing the hose ends with a hose clip is not good enough. Tks!

@FastMonty Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment... I assume you mean running fuel line from the fuel pump to the engine/throttle body? Yes, you can use AN hose for that, BUT make sure it's rated for High Pressure Fuel. All of the fuel lines I use are AN style, and are rated for high pressure. Thanks for the question!

@markjackson6829 2 жыл бұрын

Oh jes, I hope I won't be too irritating. But, The correct way for your lines to be is with a deliberate slight bend in all of them, for thermal expansion, and mechanical strain on the hose fitting connection. I can probably find u-tubes for you to see, if you want?

@FastMonty 2 жыл бұрын

That makes sense... I'm not concerned, as I'm no where near a heat source, for that shorty length of hose. Even then, my old Barry Grant supply line was a fixed length AN hose... so, curious to know at what point the length would be of concern. Pretty sure it wouldn't have been designed that way. :) Thanks again!

Oh, good news, ya while a chevy 10 bolt is generally only good to about 450hp, a bop 10 bolt is generally good to 500hp depending on condition and gearing. But, if you break an axel you should be able to go with just aftermarket axels and be fine!

Hey Mike, have you mounted the holley pump directly on the body or do you have some rubber bushes in between? it could take a lot of noise/vibrations from the pump. Great video.

Good point... that would help, we'll see how it goes.

Great Videos on the Fuel injection install. I have a question unrelated to this video. I have a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am and would like to move the battery to the trunk, how did you do it to your GTO? Did you make a video and I just missed it. Thanks in advance for your time.

@FastMonty 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks John! No, I don't have a battery install video. But, what I can tell you is make sure you use ZERO Guage wire. (0 AWG) For both the positive and negative. Second to that is to make sure your body ground straps are good. I upgraded all of mine. Here's a link to a Zero Guage kit I found on Summit. www.summitracing.com/parts/tbo-ts-racekit-1 Hope that helps!

@justinsharratt7282 3 жыл бұрын

also since doing a EFI upgrade the pump is only loud on the prime shot after that you can't hear it and since I have done the internal and external pump they both sounded the same. Loud during priming then you don't hear anything.

Thanks Justin! Good to know... we shall see in the next video!

Got an idea to have you think about . When you cut the braided hose put a bolt inside the tubing and then use a tubing cutter over the tape. What do you think .?

@FastMonty 3 жыл бұрын

Hmmm, maybe? Sounds like you'd risk getting bolt shavings inside the tube. Also sounds like a pain in the ass... as compared to how fast the shears work. Give it a shot, and let us know how it works! ha, ha... Thanks John.

@FastMonty 3 жыл бұрын

@@tanner8288 Good question. If you have stock heads, they are not threaded, and you'll have to add a push in nipple and use standard rubber hose. If you have, or get, Edelbrock heads the ports are 3/4 NPT thread. Where you could still use standard rubber hose, I just went crazy and used AN fittings. Hope that helps.

Do you have to run fuel inside the trunk? Why not install everything under the car?

@FastMonty 3 жыл бұрын

Good question, Roy. No, I don't "have to" run fuel into the trunk. The critical placement is the Force Fuel unit. It will not fit under the car... soooo, you could put it anywhere you want. In the engine compartment, on the passenger seat, on top of the roof... anywhere. :) I elected to put it in the trunk, just to save clutter from the engine compartment. The Holley pump could be mounted under the car. Again, since I was already running line to the Force Fuel unit, I elected to put the Holley pump in the trunk... we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the comment!

My car doesn’t leak any fuel using the factory type lines on my 780 Holley in my 70 Z28.

@FastMonty 3 жыл бұрын

One, I'm happy you have no leaks. Two, that's a carburetor that has 5 psi of fuel pressure. When you're talking 60 psi, for Fuel Injection, why take any chances? Go with AN fittings and have no worries. Thanks for watching!
