Got the O2 sensor and bung on Sunday. Got it welded in. Now headers are in. BTW I am not the greatest welder, so I weld hotter put more material and grind it smooth. I really need to practice more with my TIG welder, but my new Yes welding helmet works good. I also filled the holes on the front hinge support for the hood

Got some paint on the 49 Merc hood. It didn't flow very well today. Maybe to much humidity. Put on 4 coats of acrylic enamel, so in a month I can cut and buff it. I have been going crazy over the gas tank issue. I know i am not putting it under the seat. I like between the frame rails and in the rear. I dont have the money to buy a new tank. I really like the way the Blazer tank fits but, that is 250 bucks. A friend a while back, gave me a new gas tank for a 73 74 El Camino. I didn't think I would ever use it but, it will have to work. I looked at some pics on here of guys using similar tanks but moving the cross members. I dont know how well that works if you ever had a load in it as the spring perch is near the cross member to keep it straight. So I figured I would just clearance the cross member and see how that works. It looks like it fits so I will start making the brackets to hold the tank up to the frame. I have rubber insulator for between the frame and tank. Small problem is the filler is between the spring and the frame, but it is near the perch so it should never touch.

I have been working on fuel lines for a month after work. The tank is installed under the frame rails. In the pic you can see it has a top suction type fuel outlets. I installed high pressure fuel line to the filter about 18 inches away, then a high pressure fuel pump. The fuel pump is inside the frame rail and higher then the tank. The fuel line then turns to steel line all the way to the TBI. Is this going to work? I dont know how i can get the fuel pump lower then without mounting the fuel pump under the frame rail and four feet away.

The pump is Walbro GSL 392. Turns out its a push type. So now I need to redesign my pump and fuel line locationsAttachment 2237139
