Re: Chuck and Ryan's RCR Build

Randy: I suspect the Facet pump would be one of the best functional choices. After all, they are made for use in aircraft, so they had best be relaible. Aircraft Spruce also sells smaller Facet pumps that looks just the those used in the early GT's before the Stewart Warner pumps. The were sometimes mounted horizontally, two side by side. But they lack the features of the one you have selected. And by todays standards they may be marginal.

Bill: the 5/8" hose coming off the bottom of the Canton tank goes to the 5/8" intake on the water pump. it is visible in the picture I posted from the firewall side.

Rob: Your comment about the fuel loop on the left side clearing the rear clip is an excellent observation, which I had not considered. But the bulkheads are set in a good inch from the lip around the edge of the spider and the loop does not extend out that far, so it should not be a problem (I hope).

Keith: We have a pressure regulator between the fuel filter and the intake to the carbs to keep the pressure around 2 or 3 pounds. It is just barely visible in the pics.
