Gas tank question
I am putting a 75 460 that is carbed into an 86 Bronco that is EFI. I am wanting to change the gas tank and pickup cause they are leaking, alot. Where, or out of what vehicle would I find a 3 5/8" pickup for a carb? Thanks Dave

Gas tank question
Dave:
Couldn't you, say, use the tank and pickup from an '85 Bronco (or '86) that came with a carbureted engine? An example would be the '85 or '86 351W equipped models? I don't believe these had any kind of in-tank fuel pumps, did they?

Since you're not concerned about emissions, you could even use the tank out a '78, which doesn't have the evap emissions vent in the top.
Changing to a fill neck with separate vent hose will let you fill the tank MUCH faster without the pump nozzle cutting off.
And of course you'd need a new fuel level sender/pickup.
