Otay I recieved the Carter 4070 and Holley 12-804 from StreetsideAuto.com- I ordered them Wed. or so and they were on my doorstep Fri. Super prompt shipping for only 10.00 bucks. They are awesome.

I spoke with my wrench Dean P. and I told him I would do the "rough install" of the components and I would let him finish the install plumbing and wiring. He just said KEWL. You see he had bought a base model MM at the same time I bought my SPX, so he "gets it". He wishes he still had his. LOL.

Slowly but surely this project that I started back in 2007 is going to be completed properly.

I'm going to borrow Pennyman's(?) idea and fabricate a mounting location using the bed mounts near the filter for the pump and use the LF inner fender to mount the reg. Just plug off the mechanical pump fuel lines and leave it in place. The main incoming fuel line from the tank will go to the reg instead of the carb. Then just dial in the proper psi. Simple really.

This will be the blueprint for doing it properly.

The real underlying benefit of these trucks is that they are so dirt cheap to operate. Not to mention the fact that for all practical purposes, with just minimal maintenance, they'll last forever.

As a former Harley-Davidson owner, it has been said many times that even as an inanimate object, an HD has a "soul."

My Ol' Reliable does too, I think.
