This has come about because here in NSW you are not allowed to send fuel back to the tank inside the boot so all the pump and connection will have to recessed into the top of it and under the floor. !!! PHEW.
For the young bloke's VL, I got a Brown Davis ally drop tank. It has twin Bosch pumps on a hanger, hung from the top. Inlets and returns are all top-of-tank, in the boot. My plan is to build a small box (... repurposed ally oven baking tray

) and screw/seal it over the top as a removable cover.
Cheers,
Harv

Hi Harv,
I got strict instruction that no part of the fuel return line is to be in the boot by Mr Engineer !
Because I am a model law abiding citizen his wish shall be my command !!

LiDAR: Light Detection And Ranging. Used in surveying and mapping to create point clouds for rendering into digital models of terrain, vegetation and structures. My dentist uses it to make crowns and implants. Commonly called laser scanning.
Old cars mate. It never ends. Certainly was a pleasure to finally see the beast, as well as you and the missus of course.

Greg I’m interested in this fuel injection and return lines ect as this will come up in my build with the ecotec motor. Although I have a Ute so there is no pump in the boot so to speak.
I was going to try to run the fuel pump from my donor car but need to make sure the tank I build accommodates the VS Fuel pump (which I believe is in the tank). I think Neil crosses this road with Frankenstein as well.

Hi Guys,
Sam, I will try and keep this up to date and step by step as best I can. There are a few ways you can set a fuel injection pump up, my way is with a full fuel return via the throtle body.
The BA BF &*#@ pump,

Old tank out and a big whale mouth exposing a big black 9 inch !!!!

New alloy floor pan will be sealed off and new tank will be below this, spare will be cumbersome but there is no choice,

Tinkering now waiting for engineer to give me a flogging !!!
I was thinking how i could blue tooth a speaker to my phone for long trips and found these, they are made to fit into the old speaker hole then operate via a blue tooth control box, nifty i reckon.

Sound is quite good although not going to break any sound records ! You can adjust the graphic equaliser on your phone to achieve the tone you like, oh and its stereo to boot.

Hi Greg,
That's an interesting speaker - Can you please tell the brand/supplier?

Brand new Holley sniper 2, I am also going to change the distributor to a full electronic that is controlled by the Sniper computer.
I have my fingers crossed that this system works without the issues the old Analogue system had, some say the carby is better but I can't help myself I need to tinker !!!!

Going to be awesome Greg. Heard nothing but good things. Biggest issue I’ve heard is sorting out in-tank pump, which you’ve done. Nice welding by the way!
