INSTALLING THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM

 There are very few components of the fuel delivery system for this car.  The fuel tank, electric fuel pump and carburetors are all in remarkable condition.  The SU fuel pump is mounted on the side wall of the differential tunnel as shown in the photo to the right.

A close-up of the fuel pump and mounting bracket is shown in the photo to the left. 
The fuel tank will not be mounted until the trunk detailing is complete.  New fuel lines have been purchased with one exception.  For some reason, all the lines were available except for the line that runs from the fuel tank to the fuel pump.  Fortunately the line is in good restorable condition.  I spent an hour or so restoring this line.  It looks better than I expected.  It will be mounted tomorrow and you will be so impressed... LOL



Y'all come back now...
