I was about to quit and the FedEx guy dropped some Summit stuff.
These Mosley fuel pumps have a nice vent. I put a T in the fill tube vent and send it out through the cap.
This is an -8 an setup for the 1/2” stock hose to a 1/8” NPT barb. 5/16” hose.

Thank you, I hope you’re happy w/ it. Remember, any problems and I’ll stand behind my work.
Got some harmony in the hard fuel lines and I’ve not set the Dakota to talk to the Sniper yet but overall I’m super happy with the way this thing sounds.

Hey @ToyotaMatt how are those knobs coming? The to-do list is getting really short.

Wow! Just wow...
Your have done a masterful job with this beautiful 1972. Extra credit for getting the early harness to work in the 1972! (I think Cowboy is the true brains behind this operation...)
I see that you have not installed the horn relay yet. You may have to mount it to the firewall due to harness/year length differences. On the early trucks it mounted on the innner fender.
Really wish I was able to build you the custom harness this 1972 needed but you have made it work.
