Modifing fuel sender on 87 base to eliminate pump
Good morning all,
I installed the Holley sniper efi on my 305 about two years ago and it runs great. However when I installed the new sender with the eg\fi pump, I somehow mixed up the wires and my gas gauge does no work. I plan on dropping the tank and removing the in tank pump and install an in line pump and new fuel sensor. I need to install an extension to the fuel suction line and install a filter pickup. I did come across a photo of someone on this site that did just that and his mod was very neat. I searched and could not find his/her post again. When I eliminate the in tank pump i need an extension and filter.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can do something like this

If you are running an external pump you might want to consider putting in a new pump in the tank while it is apart

Thanks, this is what I am looking for. He mentions that the line is brazed to the filter. Not sure how he did it without burning the filter.
How can I fasten the sock filter to the line and make sure it stays there.
