I haven't dropped the tank yet but when i do does anybody have any suggestions as to how to do this the easiest way?.. is there an opening for it already or am i going to have to go into the vents or what? any help or pics of a stock tank would be perfect.. thanks alot. 96 lt1 in 71 camaro

While you have it out PLUMB IN a new vent and return line in the size you need. DO NOT RELY on anything that is already there. I learned this the hard way. I found that I have fuel coming out of my "vent" line (the original vent line to the charcoal canister. I thought I was leaking at my regulator... not the case! I was pouring fuel down the inner fender and on the ground. Fortunately it was not onto the header.

Do you have any pictures or tips you could give me? Im planning on rebuilding and installing an Lt-1 into my 79 Z this winter

Use a 3gen fuel sending unit. It fits right into the 2gen tank opening and has hookups for the fuel coming and going.

I finished removing and re-installing my tank and plumbed new lines a little while ago. I used a small tire and 2 by 4's nailed into an X and a jack to hold up the tank. keep the tank supported until you remove all the lines, straps and sender wires. I jacked my car up high enough, then just bent the straps back (after removing the 2 back bolts) towards the axle until I got the tank out.It helps to have an extra set of hands. But it is doable alone. A hoist and a tall jack would be the easiest way.

After I removed my fuel lines gas continued to flow out of the tank until I finally plugged the vapour line. Guess it had some kind of syphoning effect going on? Might wanna keep that in mind.
