Yes Jerry, I did get those stainless lines in my finger one time on the -12 I had to cut with the hack saw. Ouch!!!! LOL I'm still on the fence with the ball valve, and that's why I didn't use the tape and thread it in. I was just thinking in case I wanted to clean the fuel filter or change the pump on the road. I plan on driving this car ALOT. The main reason I went to electric fuel and water pump, is because there's no mechanical fuel pump that can supply the close to 600HP engine I have, and the electric water pump, that I had on my Fairlane, was for clearance issues. It actually cooled the Fairlane better than a mechanical water pump, and now in the Coupe, I need the clearance. That's why I have the dual Optima batteries. I know that I can drive an hour with all my electric stuff and still make it home if my alternator died. Don't ask me how I know that.

Here's a picture of the clearance I had with my Fairlane and this engine.
