Tip 2: Tip: add a section of rubber hose here for off-road flex.
The return line Bung leaks. Grind out the solder and weld, or re-solder ? Not much of a solderer.
‘70 fuel gauge is sticky and only indicates 1/4 tank (empty) to almost full.
Ohmed the sensor. 25ohm at bottom, up to 40 at 1/4 tank, back down to 30 then gradually up to 60ohm.

I'm on here rummaging around trying to find a link I posted with good info, exploded views etc. for the injection pumps. I saw a post by Jeepsinker elsewhere about the smoke cam adjustment and want to see the cutaway/exploded view. Now where did I post that...?
