Re: How to wire a 4th gen F-body fuel tank into a 3rd gen F-body

Re: How to wire a 4th gen F-body fuel tank into a 3rd gen F-body

I'm using a C5 filter/regulator. Maybe not the absolute best but certainly the easiest solution. You can just remove the 4th gen regulator from the sending unit assembly.
