Back in the saddle. Test fitting tank chef dropped off from his stash. Fuel filler neck picked up from Gary Waggoner when he lived in tx. Yeah its been sitting waiting install a while. Filler neck pn from this forum. Bed lined up and secure.

Just re-read this entire thread again. Great info.

^^^^^I need one of these too. Thanks for posting up. Do you have any specific info on the wiring bulkhead fittings you used? Do both of your newer tanks have the return lines already in them? I have to figure out how to add a return line to my stock 65 tank. Considering adding a second rear tank like the Long Ranger under the rear of my 40. Not sure if that will bolt right up to the 45...

I'm using an old confer long range tank in the back with an in tank pump. In-Tank Fuel Pump Module - PA-Series
Have not figured out plumbing or sender for in cab tank yet. Will probably only use it as aux to xfer to main rear tank.

Bulkhead infohttps://www.diyautotune.com/product/weather-pack-22-position-bulkhead-connector-kit/
Used 2 of them. Could have used a third. Made the install a lot cleaner but took a lot of time.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for asking. I sometimes wonder if I contribute to the collective.

 

[DomSmith]

Absolutely. I've bookmarked this thread, re-read it (not for the last time) and copied and pasted wiring info from it to my notes for future reference.

Invaluable to me!

The knowledge you bring to the table is invaluable to all. Except of course the vendors to whom all of our money goes after listening to you. It's very valuable for them!

100% subscribed. Just parted a 62 and building a 2FE for my 1965 Fj45. Going to run a H55F as well. Great info!

Erik-

I’m making slow progress but wondered where you’re at on this?

 

[2fpower]

Ouch. First post in 2017. So when I met Erik about 10 years ago, he warned me to not get distracted if I wanted to ever drive one of my projects. I have found his advice to be all too true. Clearly, he has not taken his own advice.... I will let him ramble on about all the excuses; however, this is deer hunting season in the midwest, so this time of year, he is always away from his cruisers.

I’ll check back Feb 1

Excuses.. I have Plenty. November is a blur.. "work Vacation", Deer season (2 weekends) and thanksgiving (where we installed headers on a Tundra V8), daily driver timing belt on a LexusRx400h, Significant other surgery, Waterpump etc on the matrix, I did obtain a Prius as a daily driver and the Matrix is leaving tonight to another cruiserhead family as a teen car. NOt before i did a ton of PM's to it and removed all my extra electronics like Ham Radio, Sirius Radio and associated wiring runs. Prius needed a few minor things like adding fog lights and some auto headlight wiring.
Dec should be better. and you are correct Kelly.. Time management is a skill..
I want this thing driving and tagged by spring!

Can you confirm Spring of what year?

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

So I think Charles needed info on Alternator wiring on a 3fe conversion and this might help others.

 

[2fpower]

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock.....

Public service announcement, this is the 4th day of spring.

 

[mwalls54]

Can you confirm Spring of what year?

He still didn't answer what year.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

I did work on a 45 over the weekend.. Just not mine. And did drop the roof cap off at the body shop / fab shop for some alteration/modification. blah blah, i am a slacker. yes.. i do want it done. I just need to stay home for a weekend!

 

[DomSmith]

Erik-

I'm getting close thanks to you and others.

Any progress worth reporting?
