Shit! I just realized I need to put a return line on the tank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) This means draining, pulling it, getting some dry ice to evacuate the fumes, welding in a bung, and re-installing the tank. I think I just hit my limit.....

Dry ice? If only you had a friend with a kegerator. He could bring over a bottle of CO2.

I have CO2/Argon, but would rather just get some cheap ice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hey, your running a power glide right? You should see about installing a lockup converter. Your mileage would be enhanced on the highway.

Junk yard tank is not in the cards. I wont have time. Any other ideas?

What is a "lock up converter"? Yes I am running a PG with a posi and rebuilt TC.

Herb, I figured someone would say something about the nipple, but I expected better from you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

One of the local body shops used to use carbon monoxide to weld gas tanks. They'd hook up one of those flexible rubber exhaust hoses to the filler neck and to a running car, let it run until the fuel tank got good and hot, then weld 'er up.

Locks up at cruising speed for a direct drive like a clutch. No slippy and loss in mileage due to the engine not delivering all the rotation to the rear wheels. My understanding is it turns the hydrulic coupling into a mechanical coupling. Drag cars use them and many of the GM line had them from the factory starting the the 80's I think. I think some of them were called switch pitch or something like that. I would think it could really benifit a big van.

No locking TC for my box. Not that I could find, but thanks for giving me a desire to upgrade even more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Injectors arrived today.

Well, the tank is out. I had to lower the engine to do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Actually, not all the way. I did have a stroke.....of genius while looking around at the auto parts store. I am going to take a small section of plate, tap it for 1/4" NPT, cut a hole in the tank, weld in the plate, and install some npt-nipples (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This will be done tonight, I hope. I didnt feel like searching out dry ice so I will just flood it with argon/CO2 from my weld tank. I have a huge Argon tank right now.
