I have never seen it used, but if that picture is of the exact product (and not a generic photo), you might run into problems with fitment of the vacuum hose. It would point directly at the cam tower. That, and it is hard to tell exactly how wide it is. If too wide, it would be hard to fit it between the fuel rail and the timing chain housing. If those clear, then you should be fine since it is for the LT-1.

Why not just get an accel 74565? It is cheaper and does practically the same thing.

That looks like the one, but the vacum port could be in a tough spot to hook up the line, I'd check the engine bay before buying.


15.3 @ 89.97mph, 14's on the way?

That IS the right one. The fitting facing towards the bottom left of the image box is what actually goes into the rail IIRC and points the vacuum line towards the front bumper.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

Are you on crack.... look at the picture one more time.

the fitting in the lower left hand corner does go into the rail. but the fiting on the bottom faces downward and is for the return rail. facing the vaccum port toward the cam tower. but it also looks as though you can take the whole top(black) looking section off and spin it around. resolving the vacume port issue. but someone just posted about this very FPR not fitting in the stock location, without some modification.

The accel is adjustable. There is a small hex brass socket on the top that twists to adjust it.

Sorry hypsy, but I am pretty sure the ECO's have the FPR on the right side of the motor whereas I know the LD9's have it on the left (when looking at the motor in the car). This would make your statement legit for ECO's but not us 2.4 guys/gals.
