Looks great David, now you can hook up that other tank pickup. Did you use the ethanol proof rebuild parts? Are you replacing the level gauge with a pressure?

Outstanding job! Are you using an isolator in the fuel pressure line ?

That just looks fantastic. This is an aspect of these cars that I don't typically don't see done to spec. Very nicely done!

Your pump rebuild is out standing, great job! What a great car the HiTech is and in my opinion one of the best out there and yours looks super.

Hey David I powdercoated the isolator gray and hid it in behind the back of the turkey pan. I'll get you some pics, it hides pretty well.

Awesome job David. I was actually thinking of sending my two pumps out for a rebuild but you may have inspired me to buy the rebuild kit instead!! I really like your flow and load tester. Once again, great job.

Miles better than Facets or bogus gutted shells with modern guts. And apparently no more work than the dummies when done by a bright guy.

I have to admit I was so pleased with the installed pair. And it's just so darn nice to have you guys speak well of the project!
Truth be told, pumps #3 and #4 are on the work bench. Now that I've segued into retirement, these may turn into a small venture for me.

Not wishing to hijack, but does anyone have a good source for ethanol-proof fuel line components? I'm looking at 6-AN mostly, but can only find aluminium unions.
