I didn't consider the float travel, can you tell me, does the float only work the gauge or does it affect the pump operation? If it's just for the gauge, I'll likely live with it until I decide to just replace the factory plastic lines. I saw Justin "JSTAX" managed to cut off the factory lines and go rubber.Man I hate to say this, but that may be a really bad idea on the fuel pump! The float will not be able to float up to the top. It will hit the rear side of the tank. I thought about "clocking" the pump and just after I did, I realized that will move where the float is. There is a cutout in the baffle on the inside to allow the float to clear and rise to the top. Hope I'm wrong.
For the paint, I'm using VHT caliper paint in satin black. It claims to be good for 900 degrees F. I have used their "flameproof" header paint with decent results, so we'll see how the caliper paint version holds up. If I decide to go turbo, I won't have spent a lot of dough on it. If I decide to stay SC, I'll take it in with the rest of my "round 2" powdercoat items for the ceramic treatment.
