Where did you get the parts, specifically the Y part and the sender unit?

I filled the hole from the stock fuel pump with a 7/8 freeze plug from napa. Got a freeze plug installer on line for like $50.

I sure hope that 1/32 of an inch done screw me. On a lot of other write ups where they used a freeze plug I only saw 7/8. Thanks for the info. Should I change it out??? I have a feeling doin so will be a big pain in the A$$. What would u fellas do. I haven't read anything on a 7/8 failing to do the job so…. Looks like Monday getting fuel lines. Got wiring to do today.

Man it was nice to see this!!!!! Had to swap a few fittings on the FPR, and for the feed to the rear of the heads I used a -4an compression fitting to connect the SS braided to an existing piece of fuel line. I was goin to change the rear fittings but the driversside in looked like a big pain to do so that is the route I went. Hopefully be firing it up by Monday!!!!!
