DAMN! I want that (without doing the needed modification).

BTW...besides the sock, is it just one gasket I need after I remove the feed line?

??? late fuel pumps are physically in the same space as the gas tank and are accessible through the front trunk where a small panel is located on the vertical wall covering the access hole.

Think I'll just leave my pump in the original spot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

On a scale of 1 - 10, creating the access panel is about a 2, and only a 2 beacuase you have to use power tools.

Just find or buy the cover from someone here or AA or a scrapped 75-76 car, mark your cut, and take the 5 or so minutes that it will take to buzz it out with a sawzall or rotary cutter.

Tank needs to be out, and you want to be sure you don't cut the feeder lines to the master cylinder from the brake fluid res, but it is a REALLY easy improvement.

Hey...if I use the current fuel pump to empty out my gas tank (as opposed to using a siphon) how long will it take to pump out 10 gallons?

13 gallons per hour output .... Check you Haynes manual ....

It will also drain the tank, free discharge, if you disconnect the suction line to the pump.

Just pull the line after the filter no? No need to run the pump.

Yeah...knew that, but then I'm under the car as opposed to just hooking a line up near my carb and filling another car. But, at 13 GPH, guess I'm under that car. Hey...I tried.

Just what I did.I'll wait until the tank is out to cut, but do you have any measurements or guidelines as to where it should be? I'm guessing it'll be apparent once I get the tank out.

Two questions before I proceed:

#1. How (where?) did ya'll run the positive wire when taking it form the original location up to the front? Through the tunnel with the fuel line?

#2. Just got the CB rotary pump and it's included filter. There's about 1" of hose between the pump and the filter. It seems it would be easier to remove the pump and filter if there were more distance between the two. Did you leave the filter that close to the pump or separate them more?

#1, pick up the wire off #15 on the ignition switch, run it through an in-line 15A fuse to the new position, much easier than trying to reroute the old wire.

#2, I would not separate them, it fits just fine as it is.

#3, prepare next thread re: how to install the SS fuel line (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
