The cad plated ones tuck up and take the starting power hits a little better.
Still use the old style on everything else.

I used the tank seal stuff and it did not adhere as well as I hoped it would - so this could be a mess."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man.

I touched it then put it away
I love those $10 video probes that hook up to your phone.... don't like the answer
I need to replace at minimum the pickup and figure out how to get the POR 15 tank coating out. Which I did.... new tank, aeromotive in-tank fuel pump. to be continued when parts arrive
