Need help, fuel system and rust...

[nico]

I have ran into a couple hurdles in restoring my dad's 84 swb... Mainly rust in the cowl below the wiper arms, but I am going today to get another 84 LWB to have the necessary parts to do the repairs.

Many of my problems are coming from converting it to TBI (have a spare 88 Suburban for drivetrain parts)... I have a few questions:

1. Where can I find new or good hard fuel lines for an 87 SWB? Would this be the easiest way to go, or can the 84's lines be modified to work?

2. Can I put a new 87 pump and sending unit in the 84's single tank? I have heard mixed opinions on this concerning baffles and the fuel gauge working properly.

3. What is the best sealer to prevent rust from regenerating? I have been checking into Eastwood products, but don't know if there is anything better available.
