Many guys would have simply returned the pump for something that worked without a sump!! You continue to impress me with your "make it work" approach and your fabrication skills. Once again, thanks for continuing to post as you make progress!

Not so easy to return when in England Roger, the pump is a good unit so wanted to keep it, would of been nice to know beforehand though, cheers for the thumbs.

To be honest Roger the fuel system has got carried away with itself, everyone i spoke to said i needed the A1000 Aeromotive pump so thats what i got, Not one person cared to mention that it needed a speed controller $200, pre filter £88, post filter $120, Bypass regulator $170 !!! I was a bit shocked to find i had to spend another $600 on top of the $300 for the pump

And I thought that I was the only one who that happened to Too often the decision to use a specific widget "grows", costing several times what I justify by the time it's set to work.

Your not wrong Roger, it's like they suck you in gradually

I ended up not using the threaded weld on bungs i made as i found a couple of -10 AN fittings in my box.








Had to put in a rollover breather valve just incase








The Aeromotive pump has to have a 1/2" minimum return line so a boss was spun up and welded into the filler neck, Its aimed at the side of the tube as the returning fuel is airated and hitting the side of the tube on return will act as a degassing plate.









Thanks for looking.

Or like me order it and then read the discription!

Nice work Steve, should have plenty of fuel!

Yeah, know what you mean!!! That's getting to be the really expensive part! Absolutely nuts, and nothing real to blame the price increases on!

Steve, you have plenty of good ideas of your own, and of course your craftsmanship is marvelous. Knowing the kind of guy you are though I've found one more feature to add. You'll need to fabricate some sort of high zoot, stainless antenna..........but I'm sure you could whip that out in a day or so. The neat thing is she does her dance as you're going down the road...............or strip (how appropriate).

I love it Unc,

Did one of the local Vegas Strip girls model for that one?

Jack.

I got Sue Bob, she does the same thing just a little slower these days

I'm sad to say I had one of those at one time, on my work van of all things. The old lady got it for me from a local Harley shop, I believe...............
