Very nice build you have going there.
I set up my fuel sending unit very similar to yours. One suggestion though is to eliminate the "sock" on your inlet tube. With the fuel injection you will need a better filter anyway than that. With the higher pressure and return line it may become a restriction.

Also in reference to an earlier post of yours on having issues with coming up with radiator hoses.
I had similar issue on my 74 when I converted it to the Magnum accessories. (Making room for twin turbos  :woo:)
Ended up using some 1-1/2" SS pipe and bends. Turned the ends down to match hose and welded them together.




Don't want to jack your thread so just PM me if you want more info. I have a build on another site.

Mike.

I have found a couple of hoses that can fit the radiator.
The fuel system is ready, update with some pictures later!!

Thought I would update the images on the "green machine"
Has been busy with my wilderness cabin project.




Modification of the turbocharger, catch tank and stock tank.
I will switch to the Dual Phantom pump in-Tank in spring 2016
(can not stand the noise of the pump)

Installing "spoiler by randy"
It is an aluminum spoiler which may be aluminum or I'll paint it the same as the car.
a friend who thought carbon look  .... maybe I will.

I've had comments on the cooling and I thought it was best to move the oil cooler from the intercooler.
Was even forced to move the oil filter to make room for turbo-pipes to the intercooler.

It had to be the place in front of the right front Wheel with a plastic protection (stone etc)

Then it's time to build exhaust system from turbo all the way back.
Wastegates and pressure side may be later.
3tum stainless steel pipes, V-band clamps and Flowmaster mufflers super44.
Has not decided what exhaust tailpipes I should use.
