Fuel Access panel and -8 AN feed and return in stock sender

Ok, ok you guys shamed me in to doing it right.......not really, was going to anyways.
Shout out to OP Third gen guy on YT !! @IROCZman15
Anyway thought I would share my mods to the fuel sender.
I was able to plumb -8 AN feed and return lines. This is not for the faint at heart or impatient people. I can share parts list if there is any interest.

Re: Fuel Access panel and -8 AN feed and return in stock sender

good stuff. The -8 feed and -8 return going through the bulkhead at the fuel tank is the way I wish I had done it back then too while I was in there with everything all apart. It will suit you well. My racetronix pump has been a warrior through years and years of hard use. Racetronix will always get my business, glad you got awesome results!

Re: Fuel Access panel and -8 AN feed and return in stock sender


@IROCZman15 Many Thanks Again to you !! It was Almost true plug and play. Just needed to make a 16 inch connector between the sender bulkhaed wiring and the factory body 2 pin making it a 3 pin with my trigger wire.
Everything just clears the hatch cover by a "C" Hair !
Yes I know RACETRONIX very well, if you look in the pic link there is a T-Type that has all their goodies including a Homemade Double Pumper.

Holley Terminator X Stealth 4150 EFI Fuel Injection System should be here Thursday...

This is how I did my pumps. Using racetronix stuff too but I cut the hard lines and used compression fittings for the feed and return. Using -8 feed -6 return all PTFE Teflon lines. Hitting 16 of boost no problem and zero fuel issues

That's awesome, BUT my point is MY setup is -8 all the way including from the pump and the return to the bottom of the tank. Some may say overkill, I say do it once and never look back. Supercharged or turbo LSX in the future, No worries pop the access panel pull the sender attach a 450 LPH and release smoke from rubber.

It is overkill unless you plan on making 2000 HP

Did a dual pump setup like that for a corvette sending unit 15yrs ago and it's still working just fine. You'll enjoy that setup

You made this post a couple weeks before you made this post, at the time of the first post it seemed like your just posting the cursed image just to stir up up s%&t with no responce to any of the comments.
That's why I said

More than likley knowing how divided this topic is OP is just trolling, take the click bait over to FB or Instagram where it belongs
But in this thread, you redeemed yourself with what seems to be some quality fabrication.

Re: Fuel Access panel and -8 AN feed and return in stock sender

@91banditt2 For the record, at the time of original post I hadn't been on this board or anything close to 3rd gens in general for quite a long time. My car is a true survivor and has been sitting in a conditioned garage for 20 yrs. waiting for me to get back to her. I was just posting a goofy pic cause I thought it was funny. I saw the original work by @McLovin1181 and thought it was done well, and just what my car needed. I may go DP in the future so why not make it easy on myself.
Unbeknownst to me, there was a bunch of gashes without a sense of humor floating around..........

Re: Fuel Access panel and -8 AN feed and return in stock sender

I do have a handful of these trapdoors still available.
But my supply is running low and I really don't want to deal with making it any more of them.
