seany, e-mail no workie....

posting the picture here.

ya know, you confuse me, you can shave a 60 without even sweating it, yet plumbing a multi-point pick-up in a fuel cell using the included sump bungs makes you say things like "it won't work"....

well, here you go mr. poster nutbag, a 2-dollar solution....

all ya gotta do, it run a 1/4 pipe tap on the BACK side of the threaded reducer bushing, so you can thread the hose barb that goes inside the tank......

maybe your tank doesn't have 1/2" npt fitting welded in like mine does, maybe that contributed to your mental block?

much love,

beezil

My outies are male, not female. Does that setup actually thread in with a hose on it before hitting the bottom of your sump? Or have you tried that yet o master of the obvious?

there you go again with your defeatist attitude.

sure, there is still room to put the hose on first, but not the hose clamp. I can plumb the guts after the thingy is in there.

increase da peace

What about cutting 1 or 2 of the barbs off, will that give you the clearance you need? I had to cut them off to fit in the "new" fuel pump.

yeah I can do that, but I still have room.

I just came up from the basement, the holley pickups don't match the instructions...

I remember a thread on por that talked about a change of design....

gotta check it out...

the "cell" is going to keep the pickups in-place perfectly, that was the only thing I thought I'd hafta mess with

Yup, I've followed the fuel cell starvation threads on POR, but haven't found a p/n yet. I guess I'll head back to Summit to see if I can find something about the Holly pick-ups. Thanks
