Altus Racing and ChevySpeed - Jared Black's 1969 Nova Project -Fuel Cell-

Jared Black God Member Offline Chevy Speed Posts: 611 Arcadia, OK Gender:	Jared Black's 1969 Nova Project -Fuel Cell- 02/12/06 at 11:50:09 Time to change out the fuel system. I'm going to do this in several steps, First replace the fuel cell, then later replace the mechanical fuel pump with an electric system.

In this picture, I have already repainted the trunk with spackle paint.

ALSO IF AN WHEN YOU CAN AFFORD IT GET RID OF THE RUBBER LINE AND GO WITH STEEL BRAIDED WITH THE PROPER AN FITTINGS

Just doesn't have it installed yet. So it will be AN all the way to the carb. With dual pumps and dual lines. Chris

Actually just got finished mounting the fuel filters and pumps about 2 hours ago.
Been a little busy lately- with the new baby.
Thanks for the info about shielding the sump-
I'm just doing what I can in steps, obviously I didn't want to run all that crud that was in my old fuel tank through my new motor. That's why I replaced the fuel cell first.
Thanks to Chris, I've got a great fuel system ready to go....

Because Jared is a good friend and he needed it more than I did. Chris Also I am going to go up a size or two. So I can overbuild it again!
