I talked to Rock Valley this AM. They will build you any thing you want but..... are you setting down........the estimate is $775.00.

A bit steep for me.

I will buy a repo and make a 1/2" pick up.

Peg Leg,

Do you know what year the Mustang pump was? Was the level sender part of the in tank setup? If so, any mods (in line resistors) needed for the fuel gauge needed? Thanks in advance

talked to Karen at Bob Drakes classic parts and they say they have a 1955 ford car gas tank with a 3/8s line coming out of the tank. It is set up to work with fuel injection and supercharging by having a setup for a return line which could be blocked off for non supercharging etc. They are checking to see if they can get them for 1956 fords as well and hopefully tbirds. If you guys are interested in gas tanks with the 3/8s lines instead 1/4 lines to help with performance please please call them so they can see there's a market for this stuff. Their ph: 1-800-221-3673 and ask for Karen. Enough calls should help lite a fire under their feet to know were serious about our cars.

Thanks for the response on that Charlie, will go in that direction.

For fuel line, a tool that will do standard 45 degree and maybe even 37 degree flares is all you will need. If you think you may do brake lines, get one which will also do double flares.

The 37 degree flare is what the AN fittings use. These won't be originally installed on your vehicle. They are the aftermarket fittings you'll see on race cars and some hot rods, often blue or red.

When fabricating these brake and fuel lines for Yblock trucks and cars, is there a standard for Push Fittings, GM Flare/double flare, Bubble, and metric fittings? I am shopping around for a top end tube flare kit and there are way to many options.

Talked to a lady at Bob Drake classics parts 1-800-221-3673 and she said she would see if they may be able to either sell a gas line kit coming out of the tank 3/8s size or make a 1956 ford and tbird tank with the 3/8s line already installed. Wouldn't hurt if some other calls were made to them to show there's a market for these tanks and other fords as well, this is how we get the process started.

thanks speedpro (sorry for the thread hijack) us newbies are often inspired to shout-out a question when reading someone else's thread without respecting the intent of the thread.

The new tanks have a sock filter inside.

Thanks Eddie for the onfo.

-Gary Burnette-

My 56 has the outlet in the front of the tank.  I've heard some people say "sock" filter and "in-tank assembly"  is there some type of filter at the outlet in my tank?  I need to know becuase I bought a new tank and I didn't buy any internals to screen/filter at the outlet
