pan is cut and welded in, can see the baffling









The end result is the fittings are still to tall. I could re work the fittings. But decided to shim the tank lower with 4- pieces of 1/2" square tubing. The stock straps still worked.



Added a oil pressure switch PS 64. This turns off/ on the pump with oil pressure and also provide a ground for my low oil pressure light. My battery and fuel pump relay is in the trunk, so it also makes it so I only have a ground wire that goes to the rear of the car, rather than a power wire.

I run a carb, but the only thing that matters is the pressure regulator. I am running a low pressure Fuel Lab regulator. If I had fuel injection I could have gotten away with using the stock 5/16 return line

Initially I was returning the fuel through the stock vapor line on the left side of the car. I could not get my fuel pressure below 13#. I had to replace the 5/16 with 3/8. As soon as I replaced the line my pressure dropped to 3#, and I was able to adjust the pressure to 6 1/4.





The only concern from here is I used a duct to make my baffles in the tank. The metal duct was coated. I did set some fuel, and even carb cleaner on the coating, it did not make it soft. But, I don't know how it will do, long term, submerged in fuel.
