That is funny, I just took almost these exact same position photos and was going to create a thread. You beat me!

The new tank actually has more capacity and uses the stock pump assembly without dismantling.

I actually took a break line bender and bent the line on the sender that has the sock on the end of it into a pigtail (like a curly Q) and it fit right in without an issue. Not sure if the is will cause problems in the future? Anyone want to give me some input if that's OK to do?

While this tank is looking far better than the 33 tank. IMO the Boyd tank still has it beat. JMO.

Will be ok as long as its out of the way of the float arms. the manual doesnt mention it but you need to cap it off on the outside end.

Maybe, but the Boyd tank sacrifices capacity. I want as much fuel as possible.

One other thing I noticed about the tank is that it has just an upright baffle that's maybe 3" tall. There is no "cup" like the hot rod tank had to keep fuel in it. Not sure the new setup will work as well to keep the pump from starving but who knows. Wish those Holley pickup sponge-things were cheaper.
And another note is that there is no more rollover valve that shuts off fuel flow to the vent line when in a rollover situation.

I was thinking about that. I honestly don't think it will be that big of a difference. That little bowl had round edges at the bottom almost giving any fuel in there extra velocity to splash out.

Yeah, I might try to fab up a bowl that has some partial top edges to it and weld it in.

Is this the new standard tank or is it a option?

Pretty certain it is the new standard.

I bet a tig torch can fit in the oval pump opening. I may try also, just make sure you put some trickle holes in bottom so you don't accidentally starve the pump if there is still gas in the rest of tank right?

Now the question is how did you get this tank from FFR, did they just send it out to you or did you have to pay for it and how much did it cost you.
-
They charged me, but at a little discount. I bought the new shift linkage also.

I like the new tank. The top looks much more confidence inspiring compared to the original tank. The seal around the pump opening seems sketchy at best.

What's the new shift linkage option? Is there a thread on that somewhere?
