    1980 Monte Carlo T-Top Conversion?

    I was thinking that the roof is specific for 78-80, 80-88...however when I found the link on my original post on this thread, got me thinking otherwise since it says theyre making t-top conversions for 78-88. than that opens more doors (or windows) to chop a top of a junker.

    engine and fuel system swap

    Got no return line hooked up considering I went to an edelbrock carb and was told that I'm past that now (all those vacuum lines). The Holley electric fuel pump is set at 7psi and 80gph. I'm pretty weary about not using a fuel filter also. Yesterday I fired up the car and yes it stalled again...

    engine and fuel system swap

    I considered removing the inline screen filter that is between the fuel tank and pump...it is not recommended due to a good chance of little debris clogging and /or pump damage. Unless there is definitely a filter of some sort in the tank itself from the fuel outlet?
