    I have a 1973 2 door nova with a mechanical fuel pump and a leaking gas tank. The car has always smelled like gasoline and it's gotten worse as of recently. I filled up the tank with gas this past Friday and noticed gas overflowing from the seam in the middle of the tank. It appears to be the...

    I was wondering if anyone had any tips - tricks - gotchas - or cautions on installing my fuel pump on the 1962 L6 195. When I replaced the one on my 1966 V8 283, I was told to make sure that I was careful in the replacement because it could bend the shaft if the rocker or cam was not placed...

    For my 1972 is there more than one option when replacing the fuel sending unit? I've seen a couple different models and was just wondering if anyone could help me out. It's the stock gas tank btw. Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Whats up everybody? I have a '73 Nova with a 350 small block, and a pretty new 600 CFM Edelbrock 1406 carb.

    Got a weird one on my '72 with factory fuel gauge and unkown (possibly) factory sender. The gauge works perfectly except for a peculiarity when the key is off. When the tank is less than half full and the ingintion is off, the gauge drops to below Empty, which it's supposed to. When the tank is...

    I got new autometer gauges for my 78 nova. Do I need to drop the gas tank in order to hook up the new fuel gauge?

    I bought my 78 nova a few months ago and now I'm tearing into it. My friend is going to make me a custom dash and I'm going to replace the gauges. I found this complete Auto meter set on summit. The problem is that the fuel gauge says that it is electric. If I understand right, the fuel gauge in...

    Hey fellas, I need your help, again :) I'm in the process of replacing my leaky fuel tank with a new Jaz fuel cell (Bladder in a box). Since I got the car the gas gauge would only read 1/4 full even if the tank was full. Initially I thought that the float was broke or corroded. Long story short...
