Car is a 91 black cherry FWD.
Back story - when replacing my fuel tank/pump, me and a friend noticed the line coming out of the back of my sending unit was quite rusty and was kinked pretty bad. I had to drop the tank again due to another leaky fuel return line on the top of the tank. This time when removing the sending unit line, the line cracked and started leaking. I drilled out the line and got an earls 45* -6an fitting. While I was at it, I replaced the gasket that mates to the fuel tank. BTW- those are incredibly hard to find. No local parts store had one so I got one from Rock Auto.
All thats left to get is some hi pressure fuel line with a -6an fitting on one end to slip over the walbro 190, and some new bolts for the sender and we'll see if she's leaking!
Pictures attached!
