Ha! Thanks Patrick!

Ive watched several of your videos and appreciate your details.. I attempted this install yesterday. It ended up crooked and flared the tank edges at drilled hole and didnt crimp up.. Because the mounting point for the outlet is nearly, right below the sending unit opening, I can get extension to reach. I will drill a 10AN hole, to clean up the flared edge of 6AN hole and have tank upside down. I will then install an Evil Energy, fuel cell bulkhead fitting in its place. I will then reduce the 10AN to the 6AN outlet under tank to continue fuel line through filter and pump and forward to engine bay and regulator. My reasoning for project is to have fuel drop out bottom of tank. The electric fuel pumps push and not suck thing is an important detail.

Welcome to hot rodding. :) Thanks for sharing your story, sounds like you're making awesome progress. Keep at it!

One way to prevent metal chips going into any hole you are drilling is to coat your drill bit in red tacky grease. as the chips are created, they will be held in place by the grease. This also is the only way I have found to chase, clean or rethread spark plug holes without having to try to get the metal out of the cylinder after. Pro Tip- Run The Drill At A Slow RPM unless you enjoy bathing in grease. Info - ORB stands for O-Ring Boss

I went with the Tanks, Inc tank with built in fuel pump on my 1968 Firebird. I also replaced the lever fuel gauge float with a Classic Instruments Tube-Type Fuel Level Senders SN38T7. I've heard some people have issues with the fuel gauge bouncing. The other benefit of the aftermarket tank is you won't starve the pump while cornering with a low fuel level. I also went with the Holley Sniper EFI.

I remember a diesel guy drilling into my cast iron exhaust manifold if my Duramax. He added a ton of grease on the drill bit and the engine was running to pressurize the manifold to minimize debris going through the turbo. Maybe you should pressurize the tank and add tons of grease to the drill bit to pick up the metal. Maybe even add neodymium magnets to the bit. Thanks for the videos.

(Some say a post filter isn't needed, but I'm still using the 10 micron filter) Here's a link to the playlist, if you need it. kzread.info/head/PL0VCtZe2W6eYFayoNVWpqMIwsXBbZQKqU Hope that helps!
