The rubber hose connector between the filler tube and tank is not stock.

Normally, the filler tube goes from the outside of the quarter panel into the tank itself. It's held in by a flange and three screws on the outside and a rubber grommet in the tank opening so there is no connection point in the trunk area.

In other news, I have been chipping away at some other stuff. Got rid of some extra wiring in the engine bay. Really trying to clean up any clutter before the motor goes back in.

I recently switched to an old-school mechanical tach drive set up and that junk is HEAVY. In removing the extra wiring for the previous tach sender, I am probably gaining more pounds than were removed.

Looks cool though!
