I ended up getting 15x9 -20 all round which I have just received and they look like they will sit just right.

What tires are you thinking about? Some big fatties?

It is more a matter of what I can get that will fit. I still have some research to do in that area, although as the rims are right to the edge of the flares, I will probably err on the narrow side.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing day to you all. Today I tinkered a bit and I got the carbies installed

This week I finish up the Toyota big brake upgrade on the 680g.

Q:Jeff "Return line?"

A:  Return line allows for better cooling of fuel.  Fresh cool fuel from the tank will always be present and available.  This is not needed but you may suffer a little heat soak starts on hot days.  I recommend running dead head at first and modify to use the return in the future if you have heat soak problems.

 

Here are some common fuel routings:

BRE 1970 with individual FPR for each carb /they lost in 1969  (AARC) due to fuel starvation so this was knee-jerk belts and braces reaction).

 

BRE Racer 2018

 

 

240z Triple Weber Deadhead

btw a fuel pressure from 2.5psi to 3.5psi is fine. Don't go over 4psi or it may overwhelm the floats ability to hold it back.

What are these fuel rails? Are they made from a factory rail or sourced some other way?

Some posters on the youtube channel pointed out that you have the bleed valves on the bottom, for the "upgrade".  The calipers are interchangeable, side to side.  Pretty common mistake.  You'll never get all of the air out with them that way, the air bubble is at the top. 

From 12:39 in the video.  Bleeding from the bottom.

p.s. the weight difference over stock is 1.7 pounds, for just the calipers.

Also Jeff, the part you refer to as the proportioning valve  below the master cylinder is actually a brake failure switch. It will light the brake light on the dash if you have a circuit failure. The proportioning valve for the 240z is in the rear of the car. It is a small brass part that acts as a tee connector for the two rear brake drum lines. If you add a hand valve remove the stock proportioning valve in the rear of the car.

That is some great information. I have a K&N fuel pump I am installing that makes 4-7psi, so I will need to order a fuel pressure regulator to go with it. I will aim to set it up something like the picture above.

@Patcon Here is a triple install with stock carb fuel rail

The one you pointed out (below) may be a modified stock EFI fuel rail

 

Here is a stock fuel rail. It looks like the above fuel rail may be cobbled from new piping and the front stand-off brackets from the stock rail:
