Old man with old car, new here with questions
Dan, I received the bushing. It was a perfect fit. I used all of your suggestions from the thread and one of your earlier threads. A few pictures of what I have done on the fuel system and a question!!!! The Carburetor, fuel hose, clamps, fittings were your ideas and worked excellent. I replaced the fuel level sender, new wires ( they had no ground on the sender ) and new short hoses. I removed the tank, the tank needed a large dent taken out of the bottom and then I scraped with an oscillating scraper, brushed with a wire wheel to take off as much of the old "Ziebart" as possible and then added 2 coats of rust reformer. The interior of the tank was in very good condition and had been coated at some time.
I need to either find a new fuel filler grommet for this tank or seal the hose they inserted earlier. It looks like they used a reducer hose and forced it into the tank opening. They also cut a little off the filler tube. Any suggestions on a place to get a grommet or thoughts on a fix??? This would finish off the fuel system!!!
Thank you, Hank
I am also working on other projects at the same time to get further along while I wait for parts etc. Two new windows on the drivers side, transmission gasket and filter, brakes, door lock, lube speedo cable, dash lights, on and on.
