So according to the site, I need the one piece supply line only in 9.5mm, correct?

im not sure what a shoulder clamp is. but i use fuel injected hose clamps. they have a rolled edge so the edge of the clamp doesnt dig into the hose. if rhodyguy approves of them course.

speaking of rotisseries. i just finish mine today. well almost finished.

cool. will order. i assumed the shoulder clamp was a less damaging clamp, but didn't know if there was something specific.

nice rotisserie! makes body work, sand blasting, cleaning etc for complete resto so much easier. my dad has one we used for a 74 duster strip down, but it is 2000 miles away so useless to me. wouldn't fit in my garage anyhow. I wish, some day down the road.
gotta be careful with the convertibles though so the frame doesn't get twisted. dad's old coworker twisted one and never did get it to sit right after putting it back together.

looks awesome

looks right on with the commercial ones, maybe even heavier duty.
just without the adjustable legs and arms and center tube between the wheels lengthwise (but looks like you might have that in the design, just not in place yet?). So you have a daily driver and then this one?

modern, not cloth, wrapped fuel line in 9.5mm should be readily avail. the 'shouldered' version of the clamps are what came on the cars orig. pony up for a quality regulator and gauge. you'll need them. don't forget the 4 extra clamps you'll need for the connections.

i would remove/clean the tank, replace the tank screen, and be done with that aspect. a few members chasing carb demons have eventually found their tanks completely fouled with rust and screens sucked flat.

for heavens sake...screw the facet pump. really!! for the umpteenth time...the cbperformance ROTARY pump is all you need with a filter in between the tank outlet and the pump.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

The facet pumps are LOUD. The rotary pumps are so much nicer!
I ran the 3.5lbs rotary pump from CB Performance and it was great. And quiet.

And take a look at this too:

I know you have your pump in the front, but you may still be able to use the stock wiring.

you just have to take the stock harness end off as a cb pump has dif connectors. leave enough wire on the plug on the harness to repair the change, 2 spade ends and you're off to the races. i think the cb pump may fit in the stock pump bracket. no need for any isolators so it doesn't sound like a can of marbles being shaken. sounds like he's committed to the facet. good luck with your selection.

Yes.

Dan,
I started putting your order together and realized the 9.5mm supply line isn't the best choice to go in your '75 chassis.
The plastic line currently installed is 8mm. The tank outlet fitting is 8mm.
The pump fittings are screw-in so you can use whatever you like.
The carbs probably have 8mm fittings on the inlet.
I can switch everything to the 8mm size on the order if that seems right to you too.
With the difference in price on the hose and clamps I can include a cap for the tank return fitting and still refund $3 to you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

hey chris, thank you for the advice. I will take your professional advice. If you think the 8mm is best, lets do that. I honestly have no idea what the last guy did, but it looks like he changed as little as possible to get the carb conversion done.

thanks again everyone. I got the facet today. (had ordered it before any other suggestions were made) I'm not too concerned about the noise since i can barely hear the new stereo and speakers on the freeway and i feel like i was at a rock concert after driving the 10-15 minutes to work. i've never heard a 4 cyl so loud without a fart can on it. i really just want something that will work so i can drive it without worrying. and thanks for the advice on cleaning the tank and replacing the screen. i was already thinking about the tank cuz i'm sure the last guy didn't do anything with it. just slapped on the cheapest fuel pump he could find at autozone and said done. i still have much to learn, but hey, thats why i bought this one. get the learning done on a basket case then when i'm ready, buy a roller and make the one i really want.

i will keep coming back here and re-reading everything as i go along.

so got the facet put in temporarily where the previous POS was and guess what, the leak is gone and runs great even without the regulator.

i just used the old fuel filter for now since it fit the hole on the facet. I'll go get a new one when the rest of the puzzle pieces come in for the all fresh system, hopefully this week.

any ideas how to clean off the old dripped fuel from under the tank? wd40 works good for grease, will it work for gas or just make it worse?
