Had some nice weather today, so I thought I'd poke around some more. I'm trying to get familiar with the car and get a feel for where everything is at.
The first thing I did was drop the tank. The hard line was missing, and it's not the factory tank, so I wanted to see what I was dealing with. Also, a rubber line was run from the tank to the fuel pump! Looking at the frame rail, I think I found three hangers for the original hard line on the outside of the passenger frame rail. The third is broken. If it understanding it correctly, the hard line runs along the outside of the frame rail and crosses over behind the rear axle and above the frame?
I was planning on using the current (incorrect) tank, but when I pulled it out, there is weepage from around the drain bung (it has been brazed back in), and two pop rivets in the bottom of the tank. Hmm. Any more experienced guys out there recognize my tank? It fits pretty well.
Also pulled off the passenger side front brake drum- last picture shows. Drum, shoes, and wheel cylinder look good, as did the wheel bearings. Assuming the drivers side looks the same, some grease and a little paint and it will all go back together for now.
I'll probably run a new hard line this weekend, but I have to do some more research first. I think it's 5/16 steel line, but I want to look into the fitting size on the outlet end, and decide how I want to attach it on inlet end before I run it all.
