So I dropped the gas tank today and I'm taking to get it boiled out. The fuel lines look pretty descent, but I figured that I might as well change them out since I really don't know how good of shape they're in. Two options came to mind as far as replacing the lines----> Should I use steel braided lines so that I don't have to worry about running in to trouble bending standard type lines??? Or should I stay with the standard metal type lines??? I talked to my buddy and he said that braided lines will allow for more flow and they would be easier to mount to the frame. Also since I'm replacing all of the lines and boiling out the gas tank, what other parts of the fuel system should I swap out in the process???
As far as the electrical system goes(12v conversion)...I'm going to purchase a powergen alternator, a 12v battery, 12v to 6v reducers for the gauges, light bullbs, and crap load of wire. I know that the starter is 6v and that it will work so I'm not worried about that. As far as the wiring to all the lights and accessories I'm fairly confident that I can do it all my self. I'm trying to cover all the odds and ends to make sure that I don't miss anything. Does anyone know of any other parts that I should replace in the electrical system??? Does the distributor have to be changed??? Spark plug wires maybee???
