'68 EFI/T5 swap

[66fastback]

Sorry I've been gone so long.....holidays had me tied up. The method that I used to mount the new pump in the old tank has been to purchase a new 20 or 22 gallon tank (69/70 model)...and I then had a new flange welded on top to accept the pump. The proper placement takes some work, and you have to make sure that you don't interfere with the sending unit----don't forget to plug the old line!!!!

The $$$$ alternative is to purchase the tank from a vendor like Windsor-Fox....I believe they even sell their tanks with the pumps.....which accounts for some of the expense. They make great products and have been doing this swap for years......I just can't afford to throw around (or away) money, and have to do things for myself.

This can be tricky and even dangerous, so anyone not experieced with the fuel systems and how to treat them (like welding on a gas tank--DUH!!) should just leave well enough alone and purchase the tank from Windsor-Fox.....just don't choke on your donuts when you see the price tag....they make a nice profit off of $200 worth of parts (tank, flange, and fuel pump). I'm not knocking them....they have to make a living, and are providing a service you can't get anywhere else.
