Check RockAuto, they carry Spectra tanks in tank pumps and baffling. Installed in my Challenger with 600HP FiTech system and it works great. Least expensive, cleanest solution I could find. As a complete assembly or individual parts?

I have one for my Cuda but it was like 2-3 years ago at least, when they first came out and if I remember when I looked at it, it didn't have a flare fitting on the fuel line coming out of the sending unit/pump assembly. Does yours?

To me the best reason for using the Spectra Tank system is that it uses the OEM vapor separator/vent system. Been using mine since they came out. Also from Rock as the distributors either did not have them or had a very high opinion of its pricing. Craig

I do not know if they make them for A-bodies yet. I've only seen them for B/E-Bodies so far. I did the same thing, with a Rockauto Coupon I got my 71 Challenger EFI tank for just over $200. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,1971,challenger,7.2l+440cid+v8,1496987,fuel+&+air,fuel+tank+&+pump+assembly,17130 There is this intank A-body tank with pump. http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/p...prod/prd481.htmAnd intank is always better then outside, helps keep the pump cool and lasts longer.

While the FITech reg is a little small, it handles a 340 lph pump no problem.
I just tapped one of the -6 plugs for a gauge to verify. You can also run an external reg if you block the return...

Ok, I was worried about using clamps for high pressure hose. Spectra tank comes with baffling, in tank electric fuel pump and sending unit at a single price for $250. Used fuel injection hoses and clamps to hook up to the tank.

I said $250, it was $258. RockAuto always has 5% off coupons and doesn't kill you on shipping. It's been a year, here's my order. Summit gives "free" shipping by raising the price......

I noticed you ordered the CR8DFI Spectra tank from Rockauto and the tank Summit lists is the Spectra CR8FFI.
Anyone know the difference between the CR8DFI and the CR8FFI? Big difference in price, is there a difference in the pump?
They both appear to be for Challengers, would it be model year difference?
