Ya I was looking for the Original parts but no one has them.
The problem is the fuel sending unit or Pick up/pump that's in there now does not seal the top of the tank right.
So it can leak fuel if it's sloshed around to much in the tank.
I was looking at getting a new pump and all from Classic Buick's.com but after several talk's with the guy over there
he finally told me that he didn't have what I needed. He had tried to get me to buy one of there manual's several time's.
Well there Manuals are a $100 bucks, if I spent the money on that I wouldn't be able to buy the pump.
After I told him I was not sure what pump I needed because it said except the GS or 70 Rivera 455 on his pick up and pumps.
He finally told me the deal and that he didn't have it, and they don't make them anymore.
I may still have to call a junk yard to see if they have the locking ring for the pick up, because the one that's on there does not fit.
It's too small to lock in to the top all the way around, waiting to see if I get a new one with a Pick up tube/sending unit I ordered.
This unit that I ordered does not have a pump on it. I talked to a guy named Ron at Bob's Classic Chevy.
This guy was probably one of the coolest sale's men I have ever talk to.
He was very helpful when I was telling him my problem, Gave me his personal numbers and everything.
Anyway he said if I have any problems and it does not fit he will take it back or exchange it, what ever I need.
You just don't get this kind of service anymore, not at all like dealing with the guy at the Buick place where you
have to try to pry information out of a guy for parts you are looking to buy.
I should have asked Ron if that came with a locking ring but I forgot. If it does not though I will call Desert Valley Auto Parts
down in Arizona and see if they can get me one. They are pretty good with the older stuff like that.
Anyway I am gonna run a 3/8 aluminum fuel line with a Holley external fuel pump & regulator 110 gph or 14 psi,
in line pressure gauge and fuel filter with the new pick up and sending unit. I will set the pressure at about 7 pounds since it's a carburetor.
Then I have to build a heat shield
where the old rubber fuel line got burn't thru in a couple places. Even though this new line will be metal
I don't want that heat on the line or fuel there anymore. It looks to be factory exhaust that passes directly
under the fuel line in several place's. You would think they would have put some kind of shield there to protect
the fuel line from such heat. Oh well it will be taken care of now, anyway.
