Fuel Fluke
Well I dropped the old tank a filtered out what was in the tank through a shirt into a bucket. When I installed the Autometer sending unit (the white think in the pic) I had to enlarge the hole. I put silicone around the gasket to help seal the enlarged areas .... well that was not a smart move. I don't really know if this is the main cause of my problems but it surely did not help any. I guess traveling down the road the silicone would slowly piece by piece attach itself to the fuel sock therefore blocking flow. The Autometer gauges look nice and I get a bunch of comments on them but trying to get a accurate reading of the level of the fuel is the only down fall I have with them.
Back to the silicone... why was it not a problem with the Eddy carb and a problem for the Holley? So here I go again not sure what the soul trouble maker is located. Anyways here are some pics of what I found, the tank, the tank temporarily installed to see what it will look like.... I'm thinking about clear coating the tank and leave it nature.
