Thanks Guys. Actually, I meant to say I moved to Austin 3 years ago. Just started working on the cruiser again. Damn its hot here but I think I'm finally use to it. Still have to get the cruiser registered. I havent been driving it at all since I got to Austin. Good to know there are...

Hello everyone. I moved to Austin a year ago and I am looking for a source for steel in the Austin area. Looking to do some tube work and some body work. Thanks -Mike

2F Fuel pump ($65), HEI Distributor ($175) 2 Fuel Pumps. Should work for '73-'78 2F. These are the ones that do not require the spacer. Both are Toyota pumps. The dirtier pump on the left has less than 500 miles on it. The cleaned on has about 5,000 miles on it. Both work great. $65...

Maybe if you take off your birkenstocks and put on some proper work boots it would be easier, Hippie!!! ;)

Yes way! ;) Spray on cold exhaust where you think the leak is with engine stopped. Run motor for 5-10 seconds. Stop motor. Look for big bubble. Worked for me many times to both find leaks and verify that I did not have a leak. I agree this technique works best further down the exhaust...

I put an 80 pump in my 78. Works fine. I think I just ran a T fitting off the carb return line. You will need the spacer since the pump arm is longer on the later style pumps. Good luck.

Didn't think about that. Mine didnt crack but probably not worth the risk.

Another option is to use one size smaller socket and hammer it on the rounded off plug. Worked for me. After you get it removed, replace the plug.
