Kinda like this one peaking over the crossmember; new 3/8" pick-up tube mounted in a original '47 tank.

 

OK I gotta ask, how often does that motor see 6000 and thru how many gears ?

Never and 2speed glide

 

Here’s an oddity…
70’s Ford Mavericks had a 3/8” fuel line on the six cylinder cars
V8 cars got a 5/16” line.
Doesn’t make much sense, does it?

 

6 cylinder got worse gas mileage and had to work harder to get to and maintain speed ??

I tried the mustang tank, but it's too tight.
