for all my plans of limiting $ until I can get it started, looks like I'm headed down that road. I took a hard look at the hanger/sender - it's serviceable, but there's rust up in the tube that I can't get to. So I'll be replacing that - looking like the racetronix 255 G7 sender assembly. My bigger problem is the tank. RockAuto has them for $165 shipped - but they have confirmed to me that they can't confirm I'll get what I order, and I'll be responsible for shipping back EVEN IF it isn't properly baffled. Lot's of people have them for $240 plus shipping. It looks like O-Reilly can get one today but it's in a warehouse so I can't look at it, Autozone has one an hour away, and PartCatalog in Austin has 10 on the shelf - and I may be driving to Austin in a few weeks anyway. I'm calling OReilly
For posterity sake - I'll note this here about fuel lines. I considered whether I should replace the rubber lines over the tank with SS braided teflon since the rubbers are out of stock currently, or even upsize the return line - and saw a lot of discussion on conductive vs non-conductive liners, and a lot of opinions on whether it was worth it or not based on experience or risk tolerance. But I looked up the manufacturer spec sheet, and they suggested it for applications over 2 meters/sec flow of flammable liquids. In a 5/16 ID line like AN6 sized, that is a hair over 340LPH - that explains to me why there are different experiences - most folks are not flowing that much, but many are.
