- a 1/2 NPT hole in the drivers side for a vent and then of course the filler neck.


So, can someone please explain to me how to run the fuel lines and make them work with either the fuel level gauge or the fuel pressure gauge? I assume that i will not be able to use the fuel level gauge with this tank and will need to run the fuel pressure gauge. However, does that mean that i need to run two feed lines or???
I am going to use a holley electric pump 12-801-1 and a mallory fuel pressure regulator part number 4309

Thanks

The top hole in the front of the tank is for the fuel return line. The bottom hole is the fuel pickup.

The hole in the top of the tank is for a fuel level sending unit--all our cars come with them now.

The hole in the side is to vent the back of the tank to the filler line.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
