Do not waste your time. Several of us have used this on the 6 cyl. HJ with good resultsand it withstands todays gasohol. You may have to change the lines. it's no big deal. Rockauto sometimes has really good prices

I got those numbers for the shocks off an old parts list that was published in the KFOC Quarterly some years ago. The picture at NAPA online (www.napaonline.com) looks correct but  I never tried them myself. Perhaps they were a cross over number and have changed since then?  Anyone else have any comments?

I need a new fuel tank sending unit -- I am changing to a 12 volt system -- will the old type work on 12 volts or do I need a different one ? I have seen a new one on E Bay for 79.00 but it says 6 volt -

  Thanks for all replies

 Also -is there a pickup tube of some sort that installs in the fuel tank ?? I presently have nothing in the tank ?
