    I finished up the I/C piping, moved the fog lights forward, continued with the wiring tucking project and started on laying out the fuel system.

    I took someones advice and put a barrier between the I/C coupling and the fender. I used door edge molding (found at just about any parts store), I did NOT have to enlarge the opening for the 3" coupling to my surprise....everything fit like it was made to go there. I then painted the BOV pipe black and installed all the coupling clamps. With the FMIC piping going right where the factory fog lights were mounted I had to move them forward. Luckily there was enough material from the fog light mounting bracket to move the fog lights forward about an inch, this let me clear the I/C piping and still retain the fog lights.

    I picked up a relay cover from www.LMR.com with hopes of covering up the coil and relay, but thanks to my strut bar that did not happen. Instead I moved the stock relay down and I was able to hide all of the wiring going to the relay and tuck the cover under the coil by cutting the cover up a little. I then installed the battery tray and battery along with the washer fluid reservoir just to make sure everything still fit as it should.

    Now for the fuel system, I am replacing everything but the tank. I installed the new fuel rail to make sure it fit (I had to file down a part of the throttle body cable cam as it hit the fuel rail). Then found a place to mount the fuel pressure regulator (I flattened out the bracket that came with the FPR and drilled a 1/2" hole so I could mount it to the car using the Maximum Motorsports strut bar hardware). Then I drilled a couple holes behind the passenger side shock tower so I could mount the firewall AN fittings.

    On with the pictures.

    Got the proportioning valve plug from MM (so I can remove the guts from the valve) and a Ford Racing proportioning valve. I should have everything now to finish the brakes and re flush them. But first I need to finish up the fuel system.

    I made some good head way today on installing the fuel system in the car. The fuel rail and fuel nozzles (60 lb/hr- 683cc/min-Siemens) are from Stinger Performance, the rest of the fitting I got from Summit Racing and So Cal Speed Shop (closest speed place to me in Vegas). I was not able to use the spot for the sending unit on the fuel rail due to my upper intake and throttle body (will not be a problem if you are using the factory upper) these are easily filled with 1/8" and 1/4" plugs. Lucky for me they make an AN fitting adapter with a spot for a sending unit. I am going to have to get creative if I want to keep the schrader valve tho (I might drill and tap the plug on the FPR and install it there).

    I started bending the steal 3/8 fuel line that will run from the inner fender to the FPR (man that stuff is a pain to bend with my hand held bender) I have a feeling I may be buying more line since I have already had a couple "oops, sh*t" moments. As far a flaring the ends can anyone recommend a flaring tool? The one I am using is not working and is marring up the tube where it gets clamped down. I have a feeling that running the hard lines are going to take me longer then I planned.

    I also installed a new cap, rotor, plugs and wires on the car and finished installing the engine harness and hiding or tucking everything I could out of the way.

    I made a tubing straightener today. Since I am replacing the fuel system I figured that I was going to need one. After looking online at them and not wanting to spend $200-300 bucks for one I cam up with my own using some rollers, plate steel and some hardware. All in, I am at $30 for the tool.

    I also went Junk yard diving to find a throttle cable bracket so I could finish up installing the throttle body. I moved the vacuum block as well, it is no longer on the firewall, it is now mounted behind the drivers side shock tower.

    I had All Hose (Parker Hose) on Craig do my flaring on their machine. I think it was $8 piece. I didn't find a tool I liked for price nor have much expereince with doing it. Left it to the pros. The rest of the car I have pre-bent stainless.

    You are not the first person I heard recommend "All Hose". I was thinking about going that route, but I also wanted to see if I could do this myself first. For now they are my backup if this turns out to be an expensive lesson learned.

    I installed a FRPP brake proportioning valve and gutted the stock valve.

    First I want to start off talking about doing a double flare. With an "El-Cheapo" Harbor Freight tool they are damn near impossible to do a good double flare every time. So I got off my wallet and picked up an Eastwood Professional flaring tool. Now it is not cheap, but I would rather spend the money now instead of banging my head against the wall by chasing down leaks and redoing things over and over. Another good option is the Rigid flaring tool. The Eastwood de-burring tool is also pretty sweet, as it does both the inside and outside of the tube. This gives you a nice finished end to then flare.

    Anyways, enough rambling.

    I started by removing the factory proportioning valve guts and replacing them with a plug from Maximum Motorsports. I also re did the brake lines going from the master cylinder (93 Cobra) to the proportioning valve (just to give my hands a little more space during any maintenance).

    Then I installed the FRPP proportioning valve on the passenger side where there is a line break from the factory. I just rebent the lines to place the valve how I wanted it (nothing else was needed for the install as the factory lines just screwed right into the valve). Since the valve is not bolted down I added a clamp in the fender well to help secure the brake lines better.

    I may move the valve before I completely finished still undecided.

    I also finished up with the fuel system under the hood (minus clamping everything in place). At first I was a little nervous about making my own lines, but after a lot of youtube research I figured I would give it a try. First I picked up a set of aluminum vise clamps to hold the hose and fittings during assembly (I got these off of amazon). Second I bought a tubing cutter (got from Home Depot), man I am glad I bought these as they cut through the tubing like nothing and gave me a clean square cut.

    I used 6AN summit racing fittings and 3/8" hose. I have read that you do not want to mix brands of hose and fitting as they can be different sizes and may leak.

    First place the hose in the vise, then make a fresh cut on the hose.

    Name:  IMG_0859.jpg

    Now separate the fittings and place the female piece on the end of the hose. Install it by rotating the fitting counter clock wise until the fitting bottoms out on the hose.

    At this point I loosened the vise and placed the fitting in the clamp to get ready for the next step. Grab the male fitting an lubricate the end ( I used spit, instead of oil) before you go to install it.

    Hand tighten the male fitting as far as you can (this will make sure that the treads are not crossed and that the two parts are threading together properly). Lastly I grabbed a 6AN wrench (got from Summit Racing) and tightened the male fitting until it was tight. That is it, easy enough.

    Them measure your line and do the same thing on the other end. This line will go from the return side of the fuel rail to my fuel pressure regulator.

    I have to finish making my DIY pressurizing setup to ensure the lines to do leak before I put fuel in them I will talk about that when I am finished with the entire fuel system.

    In order to figure out how the layout the hard fuel lines I needed to partially install the fuel tank. I had to drop the IRS subframe to install the tank and to make it easier to run the new hard lines. I also need to figure out where to mount the new inline fuel filter, as the factory location is impossible to get at with the IRS installed.

    I only secured the drivers side strap so I can still get me hand in the passenger side in order the measure and then install the flex lines.

    I hope to start working on the SVO soon, the house, kids, work and life had to come first this spring/summer. I defiantly have not given up on this project and plan on picking up working on it this fall.

    More parts showed up thanks to MM flash sale. They just happen to be some of the parts that I needed, so it was like a match made in heaven.

    The following are now awaiting install:

    - IRS Adjustable Complete Tie Rod Kit / MMIRSTR-2

    - IRS Sway Bar End Link Set / MMRSB-94

    - IRS urethane swaybar bushings / 6-1157-BL

    - Low Profile IRS Subframe Bolts / MMF-1

    As well as a new tool

    - Bumpsteer Gauge / MMT-4 (gotta love the reduced price when ordered with the tie rod kit)

    Now to get these installed so I can finished up the fuel system and install the gas tank.

    First I made a paper template of the lower intake and the new edge upper intake. I got a 1" think piece of aluminum and milled it to fit both intakes. It is not the prettiest thing in the world but it does work.

    Here is a long over due update on the SVO. Do not worry, I have not lost interest in it....momma wanted a new kitchen so momma got one. We have spent the last 18-ish months remolding the kitchen (ourselves) so the Mustang had to be put on hold. Today I happy to say that I got to work on the car again. I installed the IRS sway bar bushings, end-links, and bump-steer kit. I removed the IRS as it made the upgrades way easier and allowed me to start making the new 3/8" fuel Ines. I was only able to finish 1 fuel line today as I had no idea how time consuming they are to make and how much of a pain 3/8" steel fuel line is to work with. Anyway enough typing...here are the pictures.Name:  IMG_1905.jpg

    Nice work on the Kitchen! Congrats!

    Someday when I get back home to CO, I need to pull my IRS out of my 79 PC and do a full service/upgrade on many of the misc parts on it too. I have some of the Full Tilt Boogie Racing bushings/etc. but I definitely need to overall my spindle cross axis joints and upgrade the toe links as you have done. Then I need to do the same to my other IRS sitting under my chassis table so it can go under one of my Foxes too . . . . Maybe the SVO will get it after all.
