Thanks!

Well, I put the carb back together and got the most of the engine wiring figured out. I found this scoop in a storage locker, wonder how much cutting and welding it would take to make it work with boost..


Anyways, the plan was to mount a fuel cell in the back, I just didn't know what to get. Then I remembered 8 or 9 years ago I did get one when a guy redid his car. Well after 20 minutes of searching I found it and sure enough it was just the size I needed. Would've been nice if it had a sump, but good enough for me since it was free. Here's the dirty ol' tank:


Spent a few hours, made up some brackets, and now it's installed:



Tried to get it as far back as possible so I had room to run the exhaust I want to run...should be enough I think:

I didn't, believe it or not. Looks pretty close, but it's pretty obvious what needs to be done when you put that size tank between the frame rails. Here's a closer pic of the crossbar to support the front that I came up with, but either way should do the job.
