I've had a few questions about where I mounted the Holley flow regulator on the 502.

Z28Canuck designed and fabricated an aluminum plate with mounting holes that utilized the three accessory factory holes on the front of the BBC heads. The bracket for the regulator was then mounted to the aluminum plate. The plate is isolated from the front of the head by about a half an inch to provide for air flow and therefore cooling.

Note the use of aluminum spacers to achieve the air space between the plate and the head.

A more complete look at the engine and components can be found in Chapter 25 on my website.
 
Very Cool....Nice job on the bracket for the Regulator.... Very clean.


Now.....!!!! What about the shoots of the HOLLEY FUEL PUMP MOUNTED UNDER THE REAR OF THE HEAVEN..!!!! That's what I had emailed you about..I wanted to see how you addressed the mouting and the lines.

Oh well....must be top secret... Or it's to cold up their in Far North Country...

Sorry, Mark. I get so many eMails, PMs and phone calls a day, I'm beginning to forget what in Hell I'm supposed to be doing most of the time.

"Your" photos coming up soon. :D

We mounted the pump and inline filter on the rear frame crossmember, using a small L-bracket.

This is at the passenger side rear right below the tank outlet. In this position, there is about 2 inches of clearance to the lower rear valance.

Sooooooooooooooo.....You did follow the instructions and mount the pump vertical. Now Rich chewed me out and told me I should not follow the instructions and just go ahead and mount it side ways. :L He said his pump has been Cock Eyed for 5 years now and hasn't missed a pump...

Well that's alot to get under their with the filter and lines.. Good job. At least now I have a handle on what's going on down their. Since nothing is on my car I couldn't visualize the pump with the rest of the car around it. Thanks for clearing that up and taking the time to shoot those pic's.

The General must own stock in Holley... That's why they left that dam Fuel Pump Boss of the 502.... :mad

That plate is very sanitary,GREAT JOB,

I constantly say it its fine,minute,detail of a quaility build that leave me in awe.

I probably sound like a nut but I have to commend you on the idea,engineering and then the forsight to leave an air space so that you dont have to deal with the conductive heat coming from the head,

I have said it before that is a HIGH QUAILITY CAR and you should be very proud of what you have acomplished,

I cant wait to meet up in carlilse
