first time down the track advise?

so the consensus is the mechanical pump is up to the job, IF I replace the line leading into it with a 3/8th line?


what was all involved with replacing that?
do I need special tools for that job?

I would. The sender comes off by tapping the ring off with a screwdriver and the hoses are just clamped. You should be able to replace the sender without removing the tank if it is close to empty. Jack up the front higher than the back on the stands. A word of caution, The replacement senders aren't accurate as far as the gas gauge goes and tru to re use the rubber o ring and retainer ring. Those aftermarket pieces can cause you some leaks. They just don't remake things like the originals.
