Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap

Just make sure you secure the bolt on the inside of the tank "in case the other guy removes both nuts" to tighten the wire lug on the post!
I am open to suggestions on what to use in a wet fuel environment

Tanks, Inc (as you found) for the mounting ring parts. They sell the parts for far less than I value my time

I buy the tubing at NAPA because they're the only local supplier that sells tubing that isn't coated and I think the zinc plated steel and/or Nickel-Copper line looks more period correct on an old car/truck.

I buy almost all of my fittings at http://fittingsandadapters.com That's where all the tube nuts and JIC (AN) fittings came from.

I made the electrical bulkhead and replacement fuel sender plate on my lathe because the price for fuel bulkheads from any supplier that I've found is ridiculous for what they are. It's made of nylon which isn't affected by gasoline.

The bulkhead is threaded such that the stainless stud is screwed into/through the nylon. I get what you're saying, but someone would really have to try to screw it up even if they removed the locking nut. That said, nothing is fool-proof when you have a sufficiently talented fool.

This is soooooo true. It sucks too. We have to create SOP's @ the manufacturing plant where I work for equipment operation, cleaning, & adjustments.

The 'sufficiently talented' group you speak of constantly create (force?) revisions w/these SOP's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
