I'd pull the FCC apart and remove the float and needle so fuel can free flow. Then, run the FCC return to the old fuel pump return. Also make sure the tank is vented. Between those it should start working correctly. Many people successfully run surge tanks without a float inside so I expect the float is the main problem.

Sorry, missed this bit before. Yes it can. The top and bottom plates both thread into the tank. I used a brass punch in the notches to drive the top plate around (with the fcc mounted in soft Jaws in my vise) until it could be undone by hand. You need to do this to do the fcc mod, or to replace the pump inside. See here: http://www.etotheipiplusone.net/?p=4420

Default EFI Tank Install in a 1975


Dry fitting the EFI tank. I am going to use the Fuel tank Shield GT-319 when I permanently install the tank.

Perfect fit!
Great information from Justin. I just dry fit my tank and neck assembly yesterday.

Good info. I have a 75 as the base for my project and a Tanks EFI tank made for the 74 and earlier.
Always looking for ideas.
Thanks
