I have the kit from Vans, but am considering soldering the discharge end at the port or going completely SS. I know how much the SS route is going to cost and would like to first consider the solder method. I also think trying to get the length right on the SS lines is going to be difficult.
My engine came with two AN4022-1 discharge ports that would fit into the primer port on each cylinder. Looking at them the discharge hole is very tiny compared to the AN816 fittings that came with the Vans kit. Is that correct? Does't seem like much fuel would get through there.
My engine also came with a 3 way brass splitter, AN795-2.
This fittings are not the same thread as the blue fittings that Vans supplied in the kit. So those coupler nuts are not good here, but I would need AN805-2 intstead? And AN800-2 union cones which are soldered to the copper line? What do I need to purchase to perform that soldering?
Then how do I transition off the primer pump using the blue AN fitting sizes into the brass splitter? These are going to have different sizes on either end of that line which I would like to have as SS.
Finally I am struggling a bit how to route all this to my front two cylinders and keep it secured. I am considering attaching an adel clamp to the bottom screw on the #1 cylinder valve cover and securing the 3-way splitter to that. That would make a pretty short run of copper to the primer port on that cylinder. Then running down and across the engine (near the sump) and securing the line using another adel clamp attached to the case mounts next to my alternator and then up to the #2 cylinder.
I've managed to find one set of photos of other peoples routing but I figured there should be way more out there somewhere. Anyone have some sites or photos to share?
