thread -serts just to give one more option you don't need (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
seriously, looks great. I really like the roofing sheet metal screws for this type of thing, the screw has a nice gasket washer built in, and you can get it in dicolors, such as green, to match your car. I like the Low Profile, Lap Tek from Mueller roofing metal: http://www.muellerinc.com/index.php |

Lotsa good ideas...keep 'em coming for the next newbie who does this. Pretty much every aspect of what I did could be done differently, and mostly better. I have a list of projects a mile long and just can't wait until I gain the knowledge and advice on every aspect of every move I make. Hell...some advice I get is conflicting, of course, and I just have to jump in and get things done. I am never offended my critique, and others will profit from it...as I did!

Nice. I love that you've had your other one almost 30 years. Always wished I'd kept one of my cars that long. Have you kept the '81 in good shape throughout?

Good work Ken!
I just picked up one of the Carter pumps so we can do pressure and flow volume tests, and so we fully understand the connection possibilities. That way we can offer the best recommendations in advance to people who want to use these pumps, either at the rear or the front location. |

Ok, I'll bite.
Why? I put my fuel pump there as well and never even thought about doing this. The gas tank is so easy to remove... ??? -Steve |

Thanks Chris. Looking forward to the results of your testing so I can start redoing my work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The access panel is even easier to remove, and the tank doesn't have to be emptied. Hey...a zipper is easier than a button fly, but ever since I caught myself 40 years ago...sometimes you go easy sometimes you go not so easy.
