If you plan to drive the car for a while on your current path, then I would go with stock tank, 3/8" fuel line and be done. You won't spend very much money sticking with the stock setup, so when you do finally upgrade to bigger/better then you won't be out much money from replacing the original stuff.

Fuel system? CHECK!
 

Well Mako, good sensible advice but I went a little different route for my baby...:unibrow:

This is what I came up with after talking with Hector at Ricks Hot Rod Shop, aka. Ricks' Tanks.:thumbsup:

Taking the leap from this crusty 44 year old pickup and sending unit:

To this low pressure "in tank" pump with an aftermarket sending unit:http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...9299947039.jpg
With this package should I ever want to change to an LS or EFI it is only a pump change... and regulator etc... but you get the idea. The goal or theme here is that the parts going into the car will lend support to mods in the future. You know, "Someday".:D

Here is a side by side comparison showing the clipped corners for exhaust packaging or possible future mini-tub or link style rear suspension clearance.

Nice
 

Nice Tank, witch one is it, and does it have the baffels and pick up arms like the new vaporworks tanks as im am thinking about taking the same route when that time comes around, but it would be nice to have one that i could upgrade, prob wont be able to do LS to much$$$$$.:thumbsup: Thanks Keith

I would urge you to call Hector at Ricks and talk with him. Mine does have baffels but it is not a Vaporworx tank. They are a little more involved which translates to more money for the additional pickups at the corners.

This is not a tank you will find available for sale elsewhere at this time, but then neither is Mayhems! LOL:rofl:

I crack myself up comparing my Camaro to one of Stielows' builds but I do it out of respect, and to show the contrast from a mild carburated application with a a low pressure (12psi) in tank pump like mine to a high pressure ( supercharged EFI supporting high horsepower) with a twin ZL1 pump, high capacity tank like Mayhems.

Seriously, give Hector or any of the guys at Ricks a call (915-760-4388) and they can do whatever you need. That is clearly evident.
You will also be hard pressed to find a more patient and pleasant man to talk cars with than Hector at Ricks.

Thanks
 

Thank You for the speedy reply :thumbsup:

You are most welcome. Thanks for stopping by to see what "Someday" is all about.:thumbsup:

Is this thing on the road yet?:P

:brix:

Nope. Recent developments have been few and far between. But, Since you woke a sleepy little thread in the middle of winter... (keep in mind our daily high's are in the teens)

Allow me to present my Christmas present from Jodi!

Late last fall I had the subframe that originally came from The Blue Hour Camaro by way of Nate's house straightened a wee bit so that it is spot on. I intend to get it looking good and swap my "cool parts" onto it and make the swap.


:cheers:

Glad to see you are still making progress, even if its just collecting parts. I didn't know, till I looked, that you lived in the land of 10,000 frozen lakes. It was a balmy 45* here today, but 72* in my garage:yes:

Thanks.

I had a kerosene torpedo heater 2 winters ago but my girlfriend swore it was going to kill me. It was really too big for the garage and unmanagable how it either lit on/off when I had it on a thermostat or else I would manually go from frozen toes to sweaty t-shirt. Add to that bloodshot eyes and momentary loss of reason and I decided when I moved back here from the farm to leave it there.
I intend to plumb in a gas fired hanging unit soon.

Currently working on a 220v welder service out there in fact just bought some 6-2 NM-B wire tonight. Somewhat backward priorities I suppose but I seem to make a habit of working that way.

I justify it in this case because I need the welder to move forward in some areas on the Camaro and I can dress for the cold. Although us Minnesotans like to brag to the rest of the Country about how cold it gets we still function in it... somewhat.

Single digits and below put the air compressor and air tools in a foul uncooperative mood. Also makes holding metal tools require clumsy gloves though and sometimes it is hard to see through your own breath in tight spaces. So you can see how it is easy to make enough excuses to sit at the computer shopping parts or doing forum "research" instead of paring down the Camaro "to-do" list. :lateral:
