Hooked up a New Fuel Management System in the 58

I really like this Pete, this looks like something that would work nice in my 66. Are these like corpses, one to a box, or can you hook me up with one similar that fits in the 66 cubby hole?

That plumbing does look nice, but you do realize that pressure regualtor is about the shittiest one available right? |

Yes with no problem. See below for the explanation.
Edit - People sure read into this way to much. Do I recommend running 200psi, NO. Can it go that high yes and I have done it in my car for 9 years. If you want to lessen the psi, try some shock relocaters here http://airkewld.co/nqWm80 and it will lessen the pressure by 30psi.
If your pump is purchased through us and it fails, I will replace it. If your tank is purchased through us and fails, I will replace it. If you purchase from me, I will treat you like a customer for life.
Please understand that there are rules in place, do not abuse them. There are reasons why they have these warnings, ask us before doing so and we will guide you in the right direction.

I did edit my original post with some clarification.

my hat is off to Pete, also... Don't get me wrong, that I why I commented.... I, myself, run my airtank a bit higher than it is "rated" for...most pressure vessels are tested to 1.5x what they label as "safe"... that said, it is not smart for any business(or individual) to advise someone that it's okay to exceed limits that a manufacturer puts on a part. If one has never seen an air tank rupture, it can be violent, and can cause major damage.... I'd hate for a well intentioned reply to put someone straight into position of liability if something went wrong....
