Rat packer ...Hilborn intake

Question on the Rat packer ...Hilborn intake , anyone have drawings of how to plumb this ?

Walt, I don't have a drawing at hand, but if I remember correctly it goes like this. Run a fuel line to a fuel block on the front of the intake. Then one line from the injector base to the fuel block for each injector. Hope this helps you some!

I think I can help you a little. All of the old mechanical Hilborn Injection was about the same. There were several different fuel blocks used so you can use whatever work and be fine. I use a #1 wire crimp from the bead store.

Here is some pictures of a friend of mine dragster with that setup on it.

Fuel pump



You can see that the feed line runs to the fuel block, which is hidden by the throttle linkage plate on this setup.



Then the fuel lines run from the fuel block to each injector.

Here is how I did mine on the Showboat dragster.



Finished it looks like this.



Hope this helps. So it goes from the fuel tank to the pump, from pump to fuel block, from fuel block to injectors. Some system had a return line from the fuel block to the fuel pump. It was used as a fuel bypass to help the engines idle better.


Here is one on a Ford Flathead that you can see the fuel block on.
