if u bypass the factory pump, remove it and cut the arm off. that way it isnt riding on the cam all the time. as for sending units, i have no idea. i have a 33 gallon isuzu box truck tank on mine.

The only place I've found the sending units is the Ford dealer. Kind of pricy but other places are hit and miss. They need your VIN # and some other info so they can get the correct one.

Question Electric Fuel Pump Wiring

Diesel Crawler, I know that you say to use a Holley red pump, do you splice your electric supply line into the shut off line for the IP thanks Lew

Default Electric Pump

Yes I understand how to connect the fuel lines, I was asking about the electric source where did you connect that to, did your hook it to the electric going to the IP or did you run a seperate circuit. Thanks Lew
