I installed the tank Saturday, along with new tank straps. Generally the tank fits like a stock tank, but the fuel line and return connections come out of the sending unit pointing right at the same area the "J" bolt is for the tank strap. The lines clear, but they are really close to the "J" bolt. I plan to put some fuel line over the "J" bolt threads to prevent any chance of chafing the supply and return lines.
I also changed the axle fluid, trans fluid, and installed new stainless rear brake lines, but that ate up a bunch of time so I did not finish wiring the fuel pump and sending unit.

Update on the Spectra Performance CR9CFI Fuel tank. Installed it and it blew the the fuel pump fuse. Removed tank, and the sending unit it inspect. Unplugged the fuel pump and checked for short. Found that the through wire connection at the sending unit plate had the terminals coming out towards the inside of the plate, and there is a bracket spot welded to the sending unit plate that supports the fuel lines inside the tank, and the riveted terminal was touching the bracket. I should have taken some photos, but I just wanted to get this thing back in the car. Anyhow, I was able to rotate the riveted connector away from the bracket and that fixed the problem. Before putting the tank back in, I also straightened out the fuel lines a bit because they were having the fuel lines come out pointing right at the "J"-Bolt/tank strap. Not sure if this was how they were originally bent, or if they got bent more in shipping?
So far, I just fired up the car and the pump is very quiet. Haven't driven the car as I'm still installing the Disc brake conversion.

Just found this thread wondering if anyone else had seen the same issue. For anyone running a spectra tank, I'd pull the sender and check/fix how they crimped the red pump power lead. Mine was mashed hard into the sender casing and blew fuses right out of the gate. Here's a pic. I've sent the pic to spectra as well.
I had another one here that wasn't shorted but the red lead was just hovering right over the sender casing instead of being hard shorted to it (probably a few thou away). I'd be much more worried about them looking like that!

Wanted to give you an update, got my Tanks Inc injection tank hung but the cold has stopped me from finishing the plumbing. Electrical is hooked up and the gauge reads E as it should and the pump is quiet. Did you determine what fuel pump Spectra put in your tank? Craig

The spectra I had was the walbro gss342. Thanks. BTW the tank is the one I ordered the straps, filler neck and J bolts from you for. They all fit just fine. Craig
