Well it looks like I am going to do some testing with a hair dryer. Not sure how much of and issue it will be on the inside of the car. More worried about the stuff in the inner fender.

Edit
I did use a heat gun to shrink the heat shrink tubing. What’s your thoughts ??

Marty,
Can you tell us where you got that clear heat shrink assortment?

Thanks in advance.

I used a heat gun on some shrink tubing nearby. If your labels survived the initial tubing shrink, you're probably good.

It's time to put the tank together and it was a very nice day to be out in the garage.



Pieces & Parts



Time to build the the fuel pump/fuel level assembly.















You may have to move the wires over a little bit so make sure you look.





Very important note here. Make sure you cover the hole for the float. Because if it can happen it will happen.



Just in case you wanted to know yes I dropped a bolt inside the tank. Ugh !!!

The float assembly ready to drop in after it was modified per the instructions.



Remove the access off the bottom.



Make sure you line up the gasket correctly.







Call your daughter and ask her to help you pack it up and put it back in the box.

Since I will be planning and running the wiring in the car it is time to put everything wiring in it's own tool box. So years ago I bought two of these toolboxes from Sears in a close out sale for $60.00 each assembled. They have been sitting in my warehouse for years and I have finally found the perfect use for one of them.

Trust me fitting up this folding shelf was not planned and the fact that it was a relief.



All of this is going to find a proper home.

Now that I know how the trans fits and the fact that I will need to redo the trans crossmember. I am going to remove the trans so I can install
the fitting for the trans cooler lines. Plus it will open up the are under the car so I can get some work completed under the car.

I will be replacing these fittings so I can use the Holley PFT line with AN fittings



Good thing Mike was over to help.



Don't be afraid we have a plan...



Oddly enough I couldn't convince Mike to be under the rack while I lowered it down.



Perfection !!!





Opps



See you in a couple months.

Hey Marty,

You’re a busy man! Love the write-up, all of the detail, your organization and attention to detail (and nice find on the tool boxes, they work perfectly for all you wiring materials). Does the Holley EFI tank use one of their hydromats for fuel pickup? If not, is it baffled to avoid fuel starvation? I used a Rick’s Resto-mod tank in my Chevy II, which has corner pick ups, though they say they really aren’t necessary with the OEM fuel modules used in those ranks. Thanks,

Brian

Thanks Brian I appreciate the kind words.

Yep it has one of the very small hydromats and yes the tank is baffled. The good news is am building the car to cruise around in, haul my bike to the trail and to do the Power Tour/GG Road Tour. I have a Cayman R for track and autocross that is significantly faster, smaller and safer.

This car is my therapy vs going to an actually therapist. In the end it may have cost me the same but now at least I have something I can enjoy everyday.
