They're commonly used with throttle body fuel injection kits. The El Camino had one with the Holley throttle body fuel injection kit. Holley recommends a separate fuel pressure regulator to dial in the correct pressure required by the injectors.

That looks like the kit I got from Bouchillon when I built my Charger. I too tried that Corvette fuel filter / regulator. It was the only GM part on my 6.1 install. My engine must have know it and rejected it immediately. They are designed to regulate the fuel pressure at 58 psi but my engine didn't like what ever it was supplying. i ended up tossing the GM piece and installed an inline fuel filter in its place and bought an adjustable fuel regulator with a gauge and return. Much better setup IMO. Not sure why you needed to run the lines on the driver side though. Mine worked best on the passenger side. Here is a pic showing the regulator

On my 392, the fuel line connector is on the driver's side (under the red cap)....

My setup will look like this one below (seen at Carlisle last summer) and there's a lot going on the right side with the computer location, heater hoses, and the tight clearances against the firewall, so it was just as easy to route the fuel lines on the left side of the car.

Gotcha.....I hope that GM fuel filter/regulator works for you. Maybe mine was just a fluke but I am happier with the adjustable regulator and gauge.

Superb!

Looks like things are moving along at a very good pace. Any updates on when you think the car will be done? Will we see at Carlisle in 2025? :poke:

I should get it running over the winter and final tweaking done in the spring (hopefully). Not sure if I'll take that or another survivor car to Carlisle.
 
2-ton lift to slide that baby in? …. I’m hitting Harbor Freight and finding a wrecked out modern challenger for an engine/trans :p

man, that's snug! I did the same thing yesterday, using the same technique!

The only place that it's snug is against the firewall & the reworked wiper motor mounting area gave me the clearance that it needed. There's plenty of room left and right & the body dropped over the engine easily.

As a side note, a 440, with the factory hi-po exhaust manifolds on is just as wide as a hemi. Putting in Hemis & 440's require a lot more care because both engines require you to shift the body around the engine on the right side shock tower as you lower it down.
