late to the party but another battery solution is to use a set-screw which has an allen head cut into it. thats what I'm using for exhaust studs on my 5.3 as well (they're prone to snapping off bolts in there)

That would be a good solution. thx

Ultimate TBI stage 2
Completely fergot to post this.
Stage 2 consists of rebuilding the fuel regulator or installing an adjustable one, depending on yer horsepower/fuel req + adding a fuel pressure gauge.
I opted fer an 18lb spring with a stock diaphram out of a standard TBI rebuild kit. I'm not pushin much more HP than stock.
I completely fergot to take pics of the reg rebuild so....sorry. If I get real bored someday I may tear it back down fer pics...eh??
So anyhoo heres the pics I did get of the fuel gauge install.

Cut down the fuel line with a pipe cutter. (Home depot,plumbing section Like $10)

Installed gauge as far back as I could to clear the air cleaner.Used standard 3/8" rubber fuel hose clamped at both endz.

Thatz it. Easy peazy.
with the new regulator spring I went from 9-10psi to 14psi. My fuel pump is weak so its not actin right. will replace soon.

i like this idea! where did you get the gauge and did you have to flare your fuel lines?

Summit. Bout $20-25 shipped. Flare is better, but I didn't. So far so good. Good 3/8" clamps a must.

Hmm I have an old fuel pressure gauge laying around somewhere... Mayb I can use it!


What should the pressure be on a tbi 350?

 

[shelbyt.67]

9-13psi pure stock.

Ok, thanks. Need to do this to check my fuel pump!

if you don't flare I would double clamp to be sure, so you'd need 4 clamps for the line sides, then 2 clamps for the gauge side.

Yeh we have a bunch of stainless fittings and T's at work. I'll find something to make it work.
