Are you running a return line off the fuel rail or is that your feed in the front?

I'm setting mine up (granted, in an M3) to only run one line from the corvette regulator to the rail.
 
Yes I am running a return from the rail to the regulator return to tank.

After I did all of this I learned about the single feed in vette rail. I was like "oh god dammit".
 
well after months of other crap going on and getting a real job I finally got around to figuring out the wiring harness issue. the green wire on the crank sensor plug wasn't crimped in correctly and was shorting out causing a crank with no start issue. ordered a new pig tail off amazon for $25 and spliced it on, turned the key and VROOM!! started right up and blew all kinds of shit out the exhaust since it was all loaded up from cranking.

working on cooling now and need new radiator hoses since I used home depot elbows.

I've had decent luck so far with the cheapo silicone elbows you can buy off ebay.
 
spent the weekend moving tools into my garage and then the jeeps last night, had to drag the red one out of the woods with the maroon one. my brother has a 96 but he abandoned it a few years ago but now that i have the garage hopefully he'll finish it
