Finally back at it after a couple years off.
I dropped the auxiliary tank as I was warned not to use it by the PO and it is full of crud. The plastic tank looks to be in good shape and it was basically empty other than the crud and about a pint of really old fuel.
My concern is the fuel setup. It is a '69 with a 302. The plastic tank is stamped FoMoCo. The tank has the sender and the fuel pickup. The fill hose is just a hose, no vent along with it. All of these enter through the rear of the tank.
Therefore there is no vent hose going to the tank. Is this normal based on the shape or something? There is only the large fuel hose you fill through, the fuel pickup line, and the sender.
I want to have an auxiliary tank because I want it. I know there are other options but I just want it. Do I need to get a different setup to have this effectively work with the stock system?
Thanks for the help, I'm excited to start on the project again.
