Default RobbMc performance sending unit.....

Seeing the reply from Sigforty on the fuel pump thread reminded me to post this High Flow pickup for 68-74.......
I plan on installing one on my own 72' soon and I believe it is a bargain for the money.
I used their A-body pickup years ago on a 72' Cutlass and is was as quality as it gets........
_6, -8 and -10 can be added at the feed and return for $20.

I used the Robb McC 1/2” pick up. It worked great. I did a -10 suction and -8 return.

That is a nice pump.......I would have bought one had I known they were making them. I went with a Holley 130GPH Keith Dorton.
Currently just using the stock supply line but want to change it out to -8 and run braided AN......
Does your fuel gauge work well?

i can not answer on the gauge since the body and frame are still separated. I have been debating on how to finish my feed line. Right now I think I’m going to cut it and install AN fittings and a short length of hose with 90’s. I have been unable to locate a 1/2 S hose and the bends are too tight for my liking.

My fuel gauge works well NOW with the Robb Mc sending unit. Initially though, the float was a little sticky so the gauge wouldn't go to F when the tank was full. I'd reach down in the fill neck and pull up on the float and the gauge would show F. It took about 3-4 tanks before it started tracking on its own. I have about 3k miles on the setup now and it tracks pretty good. When it gets close to E, you better be looking for a station. LOL
