Re: '87 tank/fuel pump supplier
I used an 87 blazer tank and sending unit, but but just reworKed some of the wiring and ran am Aeromotive 340 pump. It dropped in, and should work like factory except with the ability to support 800 HP.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Are both the fittings supply and return, on this sending unit 37* flare?

No. unfortunately they are the metric bubble flare type. I'll either haFta run an adapter to -6 an, weld a bung on. Or cut and flare it. Kinda undecided at this point still... probably end up going with whatever is easiest.

Do you have the part number for that 87 Blazer tank? Or have the dimensions?

I'm trying to find a tank for my 72 Blazer.

The tank is a Spectra GM15C and the sending unit is a FG12K. This is the setup for the 25 gallon tank. It is 1" shallower then the 31 gal. The sending unit is unmodified, with the exception of some upgraded wiring necessary to run the bugger pump.

Awesome, thanks man. You might have just solved the fuel dilemma on my 72 Blazer LQ4 swap.

No problem! Hopefully I can add a small contribution to wealth of knowledge on this board.
