Marc, Thanks, just wanted to know that I wasn't dreaming it all...I just finished sand blasting and por-15'ing the tank. Mostly so I could work it over to add megasquirt to the car. Needed the fi pretty badly to go with the turbo.<grin>
BTW....a 2" id fuel line from the local Napa store worked fine...if it is cut right to get on the top filler tube. Not a great solution, but one that will let me go back to testing the car while I buy the kit you mentioned. Thanks guys! Cheers, dave -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Enough sunlight reaches the Earth *every* hour to meet the world's energy demand for an entire year.....so, what do we do with it?
