Interesting. I have a friend who's Business is Stock Car Suspensions.. I'm sure He can come up with a solution.

Then I assume the black line to the left is the overflow since it runs into the floorpan and down

Ok, Thanks. I'm considering a 2" drop spindle and a few other things for my '73'. The info helps.

In 73... was Avanti using Avanti parts or Chevy for things like A-Arms and the likes.? If Chev, what model did they source from?

I see one difference... Yours has 2 vertical running rubber lines.. Mine has 1. Thanks for the info.

My Bad..

All that info and no listed price? By the way, that's a clone of mine except mine is an R2

Thanks Mel.. but there was only 4 gal's in the tank which brings the level below the carb.

Thanks Guys. At least now I know what to look for. I have a feeling the clog is in the feed line and the tanks not an issue, Got some checking to do..

Good info Ron. I'm going to syphon out the tank as best possible and remove the tank. All your points are well accepted and I agree. It still doesn't answer the question of where is the fuel line attached to the tank. My understanding is there is an elbow fitting below the tank connected to s rubber hose. The rubber can be crimped off to stop fuel flow onto the ground.... but where do I access that fitting and hose? Under the car???

Hi folks. I started the questions on the Red Hawk posting. I thought this would be a more direct place to post the issues I'm having. So my 73 Avanti is having fuel feed issues. I've blown out the line and syphon pumped it out as well to the tank off of the fuel pump line. It'll run, but lethargic. Runs great off of a 5 gal gas can. I've seen virtually no crud showing up in an installed clear filter. So the main question for the day is where is the gas feed line attached to the tank and how do I access it? From under the car? Is there also a drain petcock or other drainage method? ..........

Thanks MFG.... I still will be draining the tank.. Gun...The lines seem uptight but I will be looking all things over... Thanks Guys... I'm just thrilled She started and ran so well.

MFG... SHE STARTED... and ran like a clock.. Carb is in great condition and all is near perfect. I said '''Near''' cause She is smoking pretty bad.. I'm assuming some continued running might help that issue.It hadn't been started for around 8-10 years. I couldn't use the gas line or tank.. It's just not delivering fuel. I blew the line out but it still isn't pouring out (or even trickling) due to gravity. ....SO... I set up an auxiliary tank (5 gal can) and some hose. That got Her running and idling perfectly.. She raps up instantly as well. I have to wonder if in the tank, there might be a pump tied to the fuel float gauge...If so... that would be the issue. BUT I'M THRILLED !!!

NOOOO. Ron!!!!

Yeah. Wifey will be available to hear bubbles and hiss. I was going to squirt a little PB Blaster in the line first and wait a few before air'ing it up. Thanks ...and I understand deteriorating... at 72. Dan O'
