Hi, anybody know on the gas tank when using carbs, do you block off the 5/16" line that has the baffle and use the 3/8" line that goes straight through? Do I get a cap to block it off, or just use a piece of fuel line and a bolt?
Thanks, Don |

Hi, screened port? I did not see a screen? Did you get cap at parts store? if you look inside your fuel tank with a flashlight you will see a screen/filter in there. thats the one you will use for your carbs. the other one can be capped off. i get my fittings from summit. except for the fuel tank fittings because summit doesnt carry them. this is a -6 cap for the tank fitting. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AER-FBM3740/ for 15 dollars worth of fittings, i think its alot safer than a bolt and hose clamp. |

I used a flashlight and one port has a metal plate with a hole in it, the 5/16" one. And the other is wide open the 3/8" one, and you can see out the filler. But no screen. Do you know where I can get the screen? Thanks |
