pump and install kit

pump with sock they sent. As you can see its going the wrong way so you can use the rubber gromment for the bottom "L" part of the sender.

I actually figured the sock thing out. You just dont use the one they send. Just use the stock one. The stock one sticks off the bottom not go across it.

May have figured this out to. I think it requires drilling out the top of the sender and stick the nipple of the pump through. Then hook up the rubber line and clamp down. MAYBE???

plug on pump

Does not plug in like a 255 or dw300 so I guess when you get yours LMK what you do.

I guess I dont understand why they sent the huge sock. But since it goes across the bottom of the pump and not stick out like normal. I may have just over thought that part since the sock came with the kit why wouldn't it work? LOL

Went back out put on a stock sock and its fine but the bottom of the 450lph is bigger than the 255lph so the rubber gromet on the bottom that holds the pump is to small. Is it ok to just use the stock one and wedge it tight with the adjustable "L" bracket.

Any one have any thoughts of what I can do? Should I drill out the sock feed line on the hanger and put the flare fitting through?

Also who sells a bilk hed to convert the pump to an -6an fitting

Little update: didn't get the gauges in and as far as I'd like but got some weight out

Took all the heating stuff out since this will be a summer cruiser it's not needed. Also took all the wool and pad off the firewall

Gonna check to see if I can get any word on an ETA on my pistons. Also anyone have and idea how to mount the pump?

Do this.



Here is a quick write up on how I did the pump install.
I used a -6 bulkhead found at summit racing.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ABT-TF602/

I used a cut off wheel to cut the fuel feed line off the top if the sending unit. Then used a unibit, drilling down through the feed hole untill the the fuel pumd receiver fell off. I then switched to a 14mm drill bit to finish the opening so that the bulkhead would slide through.

Next I cut part of the nipple off the top of the pump so that it wouldn't be to deep for the tank and connected the pump to the bulkhead with a 5/16 hose that came with the pump.

I trimmed down the rubber isolator for the bottom of the pump and secured it with the retainer bracket.
