So the neck was soldered in (not nearly as much as I would have expected).
Old tank had a decent paint job on it all around, but was pretty rusty looking inside. I wonder if somebody had it vatted. I have heard that sometimes it strips all the coating off the steel, and leads to rust problems due to condensation. The car sat 5 years that I know of.
Made a few discoveries...the hardlines appear to have been wrestled around in the past, they're just flopping around behind the floor bracke. The ground wire appears to have been jerked off the body.....didn't see the screw anywhere. JB welded the neck into the new tank, won't have a new sender (another discovery, feed line was loose) until Sunday.
Does anyone have a good picture of the hardlines as they are supposed to be above the tank? And an idea of where the ground wire is screwed to the body?
I may just shorten the hardlines and run longer hose to the sender...any reason not to?
