Re: Fuel pump / tank / line questions

[john althaus <althausjbl@xxxxxxx>]

I can answer  the first one, the tanks are the same, difference is in  the 
pickup / sending unit. (they are available, I bought a cheap one a few  years 
ago $50 or so, it has no damper in it so unless your sitting still   you guess 
how much is in the tank)  I'll be watching for the fuel line  answer so I can 
get rid of the aluminum I have.

I'm  replacing the fuel pump on my 63 Polara 500.  It's a 383 with the
2  barrel BBD carb.  I expected the fuel pump to be an M-2769S, but
that  was replaced sometime with a sealed, unrebuildable no-name pump
(or maybe  it came that way?).  It has a 5/16 inlet.  In the future
I'll  probably want to upgrade the intake manifold and carb (maybe a
426 street  wedge intake and carter AFB), but I'd also like to keep
everything as close  to original as possible since it's a very original
car.  So, I'm  thinking anything 5/16 won't flow enough?    My
questions:

1. Did the BBD equipped cars have a 5/16 or 3/8 line  from the tank?
If 5/16, is it a different tank?

2. Does anyone know  where to get an M-2769S fuel pump?

3. Does anyone know a good source  for a 3/8 fuel line?

Thanks.
