Seperate Swirl Pot

[sideshow]

the best setup is to have as minimal connecti0ns as possible
now the problem u have is half the guys that make these tanks do not ask enough questions
no one these days asks why where how or what
ive been doing conversions for 15 years and u have to look 50 steps forward
even though its just a fuel tank they should be asking u what enigne is it what is the std fuel system setup like
surge tanks are ok if u got a premade tank but in a cobra with minimal room best to go internal

now if u are getting custom tank made up why not get the thing made to exactly how need it
these fabricators should be asking what can we do to mak eit easy
anyway best setup is

std holden vt to vz fuel pump assembly directly into the tank then u will have the most minimal amount of connections and possible leaks
i have these neat fuel filters with a pressure reg already inside them
they work a tread
another need to know the fuel sender resistance to get a matching gauges
so i always tell people to ask many questions when getting things made up

if u can afford the cobra to be off the road for a week or so
get a std holden pump setup and drop the tank out and get it modded to suit the new pump

The Harrison cobras have a setup that utilises the fuel pump from a BA/BF Falcon(similar to the VT/VZ Commodore) straight into the fuel tank the way Sideshow discribed. Mine was one of the first few tanks they started to use this idea which used a commodore pump before they changed over to one from a falcon. I used a V8 ute pump which fitted a bit easier.

I would fit the falcon pump over the holden pump as the falcon unit is a lot easier to fit. The falcon uses five screws to hold it in position with a cork gasket and holden uses a large O ring and circlip.

In the picture of the swirl tank and pump that Rebel attached, the pump is a BA/Bf falcon unit.

Warren, here's a picture of my VZ Crewman pump. Sounds very similar to the Ford unit you're describing - certainly no O ring or circlip involved. More pics in my gallery.

In the standard set-up, the LS pumps have a large o-ring that seals against the tank and it's all held in place by a big circlip. The Crewman pumps look a bit different because the return plumbing happens inside the unit, as opposed to other models that come out through the filter then return to the regulator inside the unit.

My setup is definatly a VT V8 pump and when Mike made the swirl pot instead of using the factory circlip arangement he made it a sandwich plate system the same as the one pictured by Rebel.
