got a boat fuel tank on it now just to move around.

[chestypuller]

I was able to use a 1990 Dodge Caravan fuel tank in my '62. The filler hole is only a couple inches different.

did the sending unit work with it? still thinking about trying a newer tank, not sure i trust that jbweld. what sending units work with the cadillac gauge? any gm ones?

[chestypuller]

man wife says were outa money, so looks like i wont be messing with it for a while, unless i can do some selling of parts. and other junk i got laying around. gonna try to get the tank back in after i leak check it and then work on the brake fuel lines some more, engine still seems to smoke, need a new filter to change the oil.

[chestypuller]

Got the pumps all in I had to double oring that water pipe that goes into the top of the water pump one word of warning to anyone doing the fuel pump is be careful not to strip the cheap aluminum mounting surface. It was close I almost did mine. Man takes forever to get any heat in the radiator my tank is only a quart for fuel right now tho

[chestypuller]
