While the transmission and tcase were out for rebuild, I worked on the fuel system. I wasn't able to start the engine, and when I pulled the fuel line off the carb and cranked, I got nasty orange stuff squirting out. I had a new fuel filter, so hopefully that crap didn't get into the rebuilt carb. Probably could have cleaned and relined the tanks, but found the Spectra Premium tanks (PN GM11A) on RockAuto for about $75 each and figured it was pretty cheap insurance to use new tanks. I'd seen a number of good reviews on Spectra Premium tanks on this forum and other places. Gas gauge was all over the map so got new sending units, also Spectra Premium (PN FG05B and FG05J for right and left) which cost almost as much as the tanks. Also got new straps.
