Default Getting rid of the fuel bowl

What does it take to get rid of it? i just took it off for some wiring purposes and what a pain that was. would i just need an air dog and to make a cam lobe block off plate or is there more to it than that?

thanks guys,
Erik

Are you running one tank? Or are you running dual tanks with a switch?

Your sig is confusing.

Default fuel bowl

I do not know about removing the fuel bowl but on a web site i was on the guy that removed
his pump used a small freeze plug that he said fit in the pump hole.
He used two filters mounted on the frame and then plumbing to engine,the only thing i saw that i did not like was the filters hung below the frame a little.

I don't know all the specifics, but yes. You would need an electric fuel pump(Many use an SD pump or Walbro), regulator, pre and post filters, some sort of mount for the pump and filter assembly, fittings, hoses, wiring, Oil pressure shut off switch.. That's off the top of my head.

You can buy a #12 SAE/ORB female adapter to any size npt you want. I bought one the same on both ends so I could also use the stock fuel hose fitting from the other end of the pump. Get the washers from Ford and the plug from napa. whole thing for under $20.

Never looked at an Airdog kit... So I don't know what it comes with and what it doesn't.
