Well let's try this again, I thought I had posted this yesterday but not showing up on my posts.

Since the Fuel tank is not available I am wondering what people have substituted for the fuel tanks for a 39 Series 61 that is as close to the original as possible.  I saw on e post that 54 Chevy's are pretty close.  Of course I want it to be as close to original as possible with little to no tank modifications.  I plan to switch out to an electric pump and need to know what is good and what to stay away from and changing out the sending unit.

Thanks for input in advance.

Happy New Year~

I have not installed an electric fuel pump on my car because it is not finished on the road yet. If I need it I will install one later.

But... that topic had been covered many times on this forum. Do a search. I'm sure others will chime in.

Maybe I need to refine my search, I couldn't find but one post.

Dennis, I was able to get 21 responses to a search for "electric fuel pumps" when searching the Technical/Authenticity site only.  By using the quote marks, the search engine will only find posts with that phrase.

Thanks Daryl,

I was putting in too much info 1939 Cadillac Series electrical fuel pump.  I figured I needed to shorten it.
