passed in means that it had a reserve of somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 but did not sell

Pics of the tank fitment for Shoota

But before I get to that I had a good Saturday ... went to the wreckers and bought the fuel lines out of a Bluebird, unbent them, rebent them (several times) and secured them under the ute .... that's it! a whole day to run 3 fuel lines. Now I have to work out how to fit up the charcoal canister.... oh, and fitted up the tank.

I got it 2 months ago on eBay for $230. BARGAIN!

I figure it will pay for itself in one hit if i ever replace a sill or rear quarter

you should ask that question on the ford forum .... you never know

you know that it's that small 96% of used car salesmen that give all the rest a bad name

My coupe will rev out to about 8500 but its been balanced and has two 42 mm webers and electronic ignition. and the head has double valve springs and larger inlets.

but even at that i have my fingers crossed

two words

OR SOME

Sorry no other pics of the tank fitment but if we can set up a time you're welcome to come have a look.

Another weekend and another few steps in both ways. I got on to some more Silvia bits (engine Bay loom, main body loom, auto fluid lines, kickdown switch, centre console, auto A/T ecu - yes another one, exhaust from the manifold to, and past, the catalytic converter, and... indicator / wiper controls). A good afternoon of 'hunter-gathering'.

Of course this means that the last 2 weeks of trying to make up my own looms is all a 'learning experience' (code phrase for wasted time). Figured that it was going to be easier to chop out what I don't need rather than make up what I do need. I know that if I was doing a manual conversion then this would be simple - but who needs simplicity ?

So I have removed the 1200 loom and will attempt to use the Silvia wiring ... there's a LOT of wiring here!

Also, thanks to Andrew (CADET1200) for confirming the R31 fuel tank wiring "On the R31 pump there are 5 wires in a blue connector,2 black which can be common-ed and earthed to body. A white/purple which is the power wire from fuel pump relay,a yellow wire which is the fuel gauge and a yellow/green which is the low fuel light. Ignore the wire which is in a plastic sheath as it is a shield for the cable the R31 requires for it's fuel pump drive."
