Re: Internal electric fuel pump with float sender

Seems like the sending unit is the rub to this problem, good alternatives for the fuel pump though.

Re: What is wrong with this picture

Also it looks like the gas line to the fuel pump is too tight. I also run my coil horizontily.

Re: Brake wheel cylinder question

If I wanted to use the older stock used cylinders than you might consider having them machined for stainless steel sleeves.

Re: What intake would you choose?

Same here; 390 on 8ba block with early style center water port heads. Had to extend the 390 up to clear linkage but works like a charm. Decided to run manual choke rather than electric one.

Too bad you cut up the Reds header. They have a fix for the Saginaw conversion that they might have done for you for less cost than manufacturing a new one. These pictures show the first fitting of...

Re: finally up and running

Looks like an 8BA intake, has removable freeze plugs in the road draft tube opening and where the oil filler tube would go. Should have a vent tube where fuel pump used to be.

Re: 40 Ford Coup Hood Alignment
