Buster Miller — This Ones For You

By

OK Buster, finally got them.  The way I did it was to go from the fuel pump, across the front, under the gen­er­a­tor using clips to hold it to the bracket, then out from there.  Not sure if this is the cor­rect con­fig­u­ra­tion but it look like every­thing fits with­out to much mod­i­fi­ca­tion.  Then it tran­si­tions to a rub­ber line that con­nects to the line com­ing up from the tank.  I cut the fit­tings off to put the rub­ber insert in because I was wor­ried about stress from engine move­ment, much as I had done to my boats in the past.  The pic­ture does not show that I put a final clip to one of the lower bolts hold­ing the inner fender, using a rub­ber insert to insu­late it from any chaf­ing and secure every­thing.  Hope it helps.….……  

One final note, I have replaced the gen­er­a­tor with a Delco 10SI 63 Amp alter­nater, but used the same bracket so it should not really make a difference.

    Do you have air con­di­tion? Does it fit over the alternator?

    No, my car has no air con­di­tion­ing, but the alter­na­tor is smaller than the gen­er­a­tor and uses the same brack­ets, so I think it should fit.
