Re: Fuel sending unit

As far as I know nobody is making a carb sending unit. Below is a picture I took when I converted mine to the EFI sending unit from spectra.

You can use an EFI unit on a carb but you would have to extend the main line and put a sock on the end since it is designed to have the pump be in there with the sock. You would also have to modify the external connections as the EFI unit has high pressure connections instead of the simple barbed end the carb unit has.

Hope that helps.
