so , .............................................

i was having some driavbility problems , hesitation on acceleration , on hills up down

after like 20+ hours of diagnostic time i traced to a fuel starvation issue , either sucking air or the pickup tube is clogged ?



i gave some deeeeep thought and came up with this remedy :

- i used 1/8 thick solid brass plate

- 5/16 copper nickle allow tubing ,

- #56 100% troy weight silver Brazed the two together

- i held the tube 1/2 " off up the bottom of the tank floor sump

- started up after a new OEM fuel, filter 23100-38010

- also installer 6 new 4mm screws & a new OEM flange gasket


the truck runs and drives normally now , only down side is Not having a fuel guage ,


this is a temporary repair till i can source a good used tank for a 1/79
