The REAL test now is to hook it all back up and see if the Jeep will start & run... I have confidence in my wiring but it's still a good idea to check.

I thought about saying something to positively reinforce the faith you have in your abilities but then I decided, hell no I'm not going to be the reason doesn't work all because I jinxed it!!

Every one I know who has worked with Martin has said the same - guy is top notch!I don't remember how I'd found out about Martin but one of the forums I was on I think had recommended him. He was great to work with and cut me a great deal.
When are you starting on the Hemi swap? Why a TF727 instead of the 545RFE?
Some of the guys on the FB Dodge V-8 group I'm on have used the Terminator X with good results on the magnum engines. I thought about getting one to make tuning the 6 Pack easier. But decided that I'd try with the stock PCM first and can always upgrade it in the future.
I haven't seen any Magnum's on the Terminator X... the Hemi and LS guys love it though, for many reasons too.
There is no projected date of restock for them right now.
Curious to hear thoughts on other's thoughts on installing a check valve into my fuel system. The stock system on our TJ's have a check valve in them that is part of the fuel pump itself. But on mine all that has been removed. So, I bought this to either install right at the fuel tank or at the fuel filter or at the fuel regulator.

My thought is that it should be either at the fitting come off the fuel pump/tank or right before or right after the fuel filter. I think putting it at the fuel pressure regulator would defeat the purpose. My understanding is that it's to keep fuel in the fuel line to make starting easier if it sits for more than a day or two. But my system throws a kink into the because I have a fuel pressure regulator that has a return on it also so will that bleed off the pressure if I have a check valve before it?
Thoughts?
And it’s a separate return line coming off of the regulator, and heading back to the tank?
Yes, return line comes off the bottom of the regulator.
My thought is that the check valve can go anywhere on the inbound fuel line between the tank and the regulator. The pressure regulator (if functioning properly) will not let the pressure at the rail bleed down - it should only open when the line pressure exceeds the setting, and the pump has to be running to do that.
The purpose of the check valve is not to maintain pressure, but rather just to keep fuel in the line ready for the next start.
I think the best place for the check valve would be at the tank if you can swing it, but I also think it would work fine at the regulator.
