    Aw, come on Corky. There has to be more under that impressive flange on top of the tank than a sender unit and a pick up pipe.
    Spill the beans!

    Nope, that's it.

    There seems to be some concern about the fuel pump that I am using, so here is a photo that shows you a comparison of the usual in-line fuel injection pump (the white pump) and the much larger a more powerful in-line fuel injection pump (the black one) that I am using.

    Re: Getting off my arse

    Got the wiper motor attachment holes re-drilled and wiper motor installed. Craig told me which side to drill the hole for the wiper arm, but that was a while ago. I believe he said to the left (B), but I'm not sure, any other input? This is a LHD car.

    Thanks,
    Corky

    Put the wiper on the same side as the driver so you get more of the screen in front of you cleared.

    Washer jet on the centreline, wiper spindle should be offset approx 2.5" to the drivers side, wiper parks to the passenger side.
    As Guy says this maximises the sweep in the drivers favour.

    Yes. I'd agree with both Guy and Craig.
    When converting RHD to LHD I did not move the wiper spindle over.
    That's why I ended up having to rework the linkage to get the extra bit of sweep to make it acceptable on Frederics car.

    Do you have any baffling in your fuel tank Corky?

    Yes, it is almost a fuel cell in design. There is a box around the pickup that has doors that only open in, thus insuring that there will be fuel around the pickup.

    Re: Getting off my arse

    I think the only concern over the fuel pump is about it's ability to suck the fuel up & over - they tend to suck badly. That said, many moons ago I fitted an EFI engine into our Marcos that had previously had a carb fed setup and did a very similar layout to what you have here - I put the HP pump on top of the fuel tank, no baffles, no swirl and it worked OK. It wasn't the right way to do it by any means, it did suffer surge once the level dropped but it did work most of the time. Later on, I re-worked it to incorporate a lift pump, swirl and proper filtering.

    Pump itself looks more than up to the task.
