Thanks for the info Dale. Do you modify your setup at all so that the feed line from the tank --> pump is bigger than the stock 5/16" line?
I'm curious how you plumbed your setup. Did you run a new line from the pump to the engine and use the stock feed line as a return? -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale McIntosh Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2004 2:18 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] wanted: fuel tank sending unit, EFI help (oops) Oops, meant to say 'intank would be quieter' and not inline.
