You all are awesome, thanks for the advice! I just got this bad boy running today. It felt so great to have him running for the first time in years. For now I just have an electric pump hooked up close to the center tank where the gas is gravity fed and comes out of a bottom corner. The back tank has a fuel sending unit on top of the tank so only the main tank is hooked up for now. Thought about adding a mechanical pump but hopefully will not need it. (Someone on another forum told me that I would have to add something to run a mechanical since it didn't come from factory but I was like "hey that's just your opinion man"). Suppose I will have to add a fuel selector valve and hook up the other tank but of now feels great to have this big guy running! I After dropping the back tank myself with ratchet straps I decided to hire a mobile mechanic to help. He replaced a bunch of rotten wiring, dropped the center tank and took it and cleaned it and we hooked up a new electric fuel pump I bought online for about 50. It smoked a lot the first few warm ups but I did another oil change and added some bardahl no smoke and it seems like the smoking issue is pretty much gone! Drove up the road and got some gas, was quite the experience. This motor runs so smooth and it only has 66k miles so being in it about 2k right now I think i'm doing pretty good! Time to start figuring out what all works and what doesn't but it was a beautiful day today
