    first: be sure to install an oil pressure sensitive 'safety switch' on ignition with the electric fuel pump .

    dunder     the Maverick you can follow the OEM line front to rear. The Fuel Pump unless in tank (preferably), should be close to bottom of tank. I mounted an inline at front of tank behind axle and added large filter before pump.

    Return line from boost ref'd bypass regulator (SC'd sealed/blown carb) simply dumps into fuel filler in trunk. 3/8 bendable brake line makes it manageable.

    have fun
