Default Re: Fuel tank sending unit

Hey Ryan

I'm looking at the same situation for my '66, 289cid.
Everything is ALL APART right now (engine is stripped & hanging in mid-air on the engine hoist)

Got me a 4bbl carb. new intake manifold. I want to put in a 22gal. tank ~
(new from a 1970 'stang, they tell me with a few minor alterations it can be done. I want that extra 6gal. of juice. )

I read somewhere that; what's the use of having a bigger fuel tank. And have that gas being sucked thru a 5/16th line.

IT'S LIKE SUCKING A SODA THRU A COCKTAIL STRAW.

So, a friend of mine said, first get an ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP, then install the 3/8ths fuel line out of the bigger tank right up to the carb.

Ryan, that's what I hope to do.
Now, what have you found out about OUR SITUATIONS

Any and all help and knowledge you've got; PLUS all you other great guys will help me also.

Hope to hear from you.
