I Have a toilet bowl set up for my Barracuda. Any one have pictures of a fuel cell mounted in the front? Is there one that works better than others? Thinking i will need a 4 gallon. Thanks

Make sure cell fuel is above the pump and the top of the cell is not above the nozzles.

What does the front of your car look like? (pic) Stock radiator support? Inner fenderwells? It can be a pain in a mostly stock A-body, but it can be done with some work. I have a 4 gallon fuel cell and I would not want only 2 gallons.

When you mount it, be sure you can build it so the protective bar is above the top fitting on the tank. I got called on that at my last cage cert, luckily not at the track. Minimum 2 gal gas, 4 for alky and you need the pump pickup in the back to ensure it won't uncover the pickup on launch if it isn't real full. AMHIK.

This is my 1970 Cuda that had this custom made alumimun cell in it when I got the car several years ago. It holds around 6 gallons, the electric fuel pump is mounted between the motor and the cell, electric the pump you see in this picture is for the cooling system, I'll post another one after this to show it with the filters and plumbing. I run this car on E85 due to the very small cooling system
