87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #241 – November 19, 2016, 10:31:01 PM brake lines taking a tad longer because of a problem i ran into.also trying to think about how to re-route the rear line so its not bundled into the fuel line wad.i think i nailed it.update pics. i found an interesting little hole along the transmission mount sheet metal.with a tad bit of wobbling out of each hole, this gives me the path i was after and staying fairly clear of exhaust pipes.

87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #245 – November 22, 2016, 02:34:07 PM a few more,,, the area around the master and prop valve took a lot of time to make it look rightI solved an age old problem by putting the master cyl lines on the side at a slight angle.this allows you to have more swing on the bottom line fitting in the future. Hard to explain but with your line wrench coming in from the front of the car, you can swing the line wrench and have more room to do so. Quote Selected
87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #246 – November 22, 2016, 06:19:37 PM i solved my fuel line heat shield today.this is aluminum unistrut off a random suv roof rack system. chopped a 20'' long section and fab'd up some clamp back brackets to secure it. Now i believe we are pretty safe to call the fuel lines out of the way of exhaust heat.... atleast i hope so.for this to work best, you have to re-route the lines "over top" of the pass rear brake mounting bracket.

87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #250 – December 03, 2016, 10:45:41 AM i purchased this product a couple days ago and yesterday i worked through the three step process.THis would be to add a protective interior liner to our fuel tank.I experimented with the residual product brushing it on a few hand tools to see how durable it might be for other applications.

87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #251 – December 04, 2016, 06:13:35 PM I like the Kreem product! and it works really good.also makes a wonderful coating for hand tools as well.bad news,, i may have to trash the tank.its exterior is in perfect shape and i got it all cleaned up but.......the bowl the fuel pump sits in has a metal tube that runs about 270 deg around the bowl,,, "anti-slosh module"?anyway,, its jammed up with something i cant seem to clean out... its difficult to get to and its too much risk to accept if its not total opened up.so,, has anyone ever purchased the summit racing tank they say is a direct fit to our cars?

87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #252 – December 05, 2016, 08:44:45 AM I've never bought the summit one, but I have used the ones from Amazon. Somewhere I have a thread on it I believe. If you were closer, I have a new tank with new high flow fuel pump... Quote Selected
87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #253 – December 05, 2016, 02:37:59 PM thank you, i found one on rockauto, these tanks seem widely available yet the price spread is amazing,, well over a hundered bux spread.i am trying to understand what i am "not" getting if i buy the 90$ tank for an 87coug on rock auto... as compared to the dorman,,, there are three avail one is 19gal while the others are 22gal.. my target is the 22gal.

87 "coug" resto winter project Reply #254 – December 22, 2016, 04:31:00 PM guys,,, this is a really good gas tank!small differencethere is no small 1/2'' tube running around the fuel pump bowl,, instead they have a 1/2'' opening at the bottom of the bowl.the fuel pump bowl sits off the bottom of the tank about 3/16'' from what i can tell.either way,,, all the metal matches including guage.it came all painted as well with new rings and gaskets.good product for less than 100$ from rock auto if you need one. the 22gal one may require new tank straps though,, Quote Selected
