Appreciate the video and the time you took to explain in detail the steps you were taking and why. Very informative. Which fuel pump with how many gpm or lpm fuel pump did you chose? Also what sending unit locking tab?
I used the fuel pump kit from FI Tech which included their pump and the install kit. I think the pump is 90gph at 58 psi. - part # 50015 - fitechefi.com/product/go-fuel-universal-in-tank-pump-module-340-lph/ The sending unit came from Ebay and included the locking ring and o-ring - $55.00 - I just checked, the seller doesn’t appear to have any listed currently.
Love the build videos. Your Dana 44/30 videos helped me tremendously with my Scout build. I’m in the process now of researching fuel pump for efi. If a in-line pump was used could the sending unit flow enough fuel volume for a little 258 efi?
Thanks for the compliment! Yes, I think the stock fuel line size would work, however (at least on my truck) the fuel line is some kind of plastic and I doubt it would stand up to the pressure. So, I would say, plan to replace the fuel lines. I say go EFI and enjoy the drivability!
IIRC, the POR Metal Prep has phosphoric acid, which makes a thin rust proof bond on the ferric metals. Car bodies are dipped in a similar solution at the factory to prevent rust bubbling up under paint around scratches. Might be in parkerizing solution too but not positive.
GOOD INFORMATION! I'm no chemist, but it is interesting how things that we consider hazardous in some situations are also very useful when used correctly. Thanks for watching!
Currently prepping my '77 Scout Traveler tank for this exact modification. The instructions that came with the FiTech system are great but your video really helped me out with some of the finer details like where exactly to mount the pump without having clearance issues. New sending unit and sealing ring arrives tomorrow so its time to start cutting. What size hole saw did you use? It calls for a 2 1/8" hole saw, but the closest I have is a 2 1/4" Do you think an extra 1/8" would cause any sealing issues? Thanks for the awesome video! I am definitely going to check out your build series!!
Thank you! I’m very happy you found the video helpful and that you are enjoying the series. I would suggest buying the 2 1/8” hole saw, I think I used a 2” and then opened up the hole with a die grinder and finger sander. The ring that mounts into the top of the tank has pretty close tolerances, I don’t think an oversized hole will work.
@@AllisonCustoms do you remember who every one I try it's 4weeks out and that's just for them to get it then they ship it to you I've ordered 3 and still keep waiting
Wow this is one of the best and proper quality installed scout videos I’ve seen. This has helped me a ton! Thank you
Well thank you! Glad it helped!
Nice work thanks for sharing
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I think removing of he sock changed the angle of the float
it’s certainly possible

Next time strap to a tire and jack it up and leave in gear for hr, It slowly rotates and works great
Nice Tip - Thanks!

Where did you buy your fuel sending unit?
I got the new one off of eBay. When I started searching it was the first one that came up. Thanks for watching!
