A new tank is exactly the thought and conversation I was having with someone earlier. I don't mind spending time working on the car, but my time does have value and something as tedious as this looks like it will take way more time than it's worth compared to buying a replacement. I wasn't really planning to consider fuel injection at all down the road, but I came to that conclusion when I was originally expecting the car to be a slant 6. If I'm considering fuel injection, but going to keep the carburetor for awhile would you recommend just getting the 6-bolt pickup tube and using the stock fuel pump? Is there any benefit (aside from having it done and ready) to getting the in tank fuel pump now? It's not an insignificant amount of work (particularly for a novice like me) to add the pump, return line, and pressure regulator if I won't be needing them anytime soon.
