I am going to install a new fuel system into the camaro. I want to up grade to a 1/2 -8 braided line from the tank to the carb. My only problem is that THe sending unit is a 3/8. I have tried to find a tank with the sump in it all ready with no luck. Aeromotive makes them but they said they have stopped due to problems with thier supplyer. SO i am left with two options:

1.Try to find a 1/2 sending unit or

2. Remove the tank and try to find someone to weld in a sump for me.

What do you guys run? Which set up would be best? Any suggestions?

This is off the wall but how about adding another 3/8" line to the exhisting sender then "T" them together.

Could you take the sender to a radiator shop and have a new 1/2" tube brazed in?

69,

When I did the 540, I new I would have to feed it. Picked up a CE weld on sump and had a local radiator shop do the welding and soldering. Probably cost me a 150.00 when done. I really tried to modify the stock pick up but it didnt work out. In the flange of the pick up I did have just enough room to fit an 8AN bung for a fuel return. And the original sending unit still functions.

Mine is way overkill, but I'm still running a mechanical pump.

I had a competition engineering sump welded in my tank. I bought a new tank and the sump, costs me $40 to get it welded in. I then ran -10 line from one side of the sump clear up the frame into a Earl's inline filter(about 1/2 way up the frame) and then into the mechanical pump(Carter 172 gph). From the pump I ran -8 line to a 1/2 in Fuel Log by Aeromotive. The reason for the -10 line is b/c I do plan on going with a bigger motor in the next few years and I'm running a mechanical pump so I wanted the fuel flowing a free as possible. Any questions just ask?

I had problems with my C/E univeral sump. The fittings on it leaked at the welds (the welds made by C/E - not my welds)

you could convert to a fuel cell like i did, it has two 8an fittings on the bottom and has a sending unit.

69camaroracer, if you decide to go with a CE sump, I can give you a real good deal on one. I bought one with the intentions of modify an original style tank and decided to go with a Rock Valley set up for my EFI conversion. I live up in Crestview. Do you race at Holt? Anyways, let me know and maybe we can get together sometime.

someone makes a 1/2" sender for older cars- i know i can get one for my Nova. but i forget who. Inline Tube maybe?
how hard could it be to take out the 3/8" line in your existing sender, and make the hole 1/8" bigger and braze in a 1/2" line shaped like the original?
