1/2 - 3/4 inch is plenty. Just needs to be enough to keep it from pulling apart. Our plates are only about 1/2 inch from the axle shaft & it hasn't been a problem. At the inside joint, the axle doesn't move up & down a whole lot.

Anyone have info on the fuel system for a 97 cirrus 2.5l. It appears to not have a return line. I got it running on an old f150 inline pump but smokes like it is rich and after 10minutes of idle it dies out. I can refire it but if I touch the gas it dies. I'll figure it out but figured I'd see if anyone had any experiences. Any how much psi it needs

Did a little research, fuel tank was gone when I got the car but I believe they have the regulator on the sending unit. I think the vehicle operates at about 45 psi and my inline pump kicks out about 90psi. Maybe I'll try and find a pump that is closer to what the car would run at with a regulator. Anyone have suggestions? Might just go old school with a pump and sending unit mounted in an old boat tank.
I think a 99 ford ranger has a regulator on the sending unit and I have a parts ranger sitting sitting around. Although i'm finding conflicting specs on the 3.0 ranger running at 35psi and at 45psi. Guess I'll just test it out.

they make adjustable fuel pressure regulators with a return line, I don't know the part numbers but I know they exist

I talked to someone who said you could put a valve in your pressure line and just turn it a little bit to adjust the flow and pressure.

Sorry I missed your msg skittlecar. I actually got to working on other things and never got back to that car. I see summit sells a 45psi inline pump for about $82 and like nitronate mentioned that would probably work well. I also searched for in line pressure regulators and anything I found was over $100.
I'm on the fence, but my plan is to simply take a boat gas tank, cut a hole in the top (with like tin snips). and drops a sending unit in that will run at the needed operating range. Mount it with seal all and self tapping screws, and run my line from the sending unit to the closest spot near the engine i found.
Should work in theory, so i haven't messed with it. Worst case i'll order a 45psi pump from summit as I can use that in most other cars. When I bought my inline pumps in the past I just figured why not go with more like a 90-100psi pump as those are pretty common psi range for in tank pumps.. never really thought about cars without a regulator on the rail

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of leaning that way. I would love to get my hands on an adjustable regulator that has the feed and return ports in it. They are expensive, but it might be a good long term investment because a lot of these newer cars are going to that setup.

Anyone know if there's a safety shoot off switch on a Plymouth horizon. I know ford does it There is not a fuel shutoff inertia switch on these.
