Thanks for the reply. I do use the google search and it works just fine. I was just curious about the forum search because no matter what I try, including All Content in both regular and advanced search, I get zero results. It looks to me like search in the forums does not work.

Does anybody know where to get a new gas cap gasket. Mine doesn't seal very well and I can't see spending $80+ for a new gas cap!

I guess I don't know how to search the forums. It doesn't matter what I put in the search box in the upper right side I get 0 results. What am I missing?

If I put it on the accessory position and I use that position to do things like listen to the radio with the car not running I wouldn't want the fuel pump running while the car is not. If the fuel pump is in the engine running position I can turn the key to that position and let the pump charge the fuel line for a few seconds and then start it.

I would want it on the "engine running" position rather than the accessories position.

Thanks for the reply! No, no startup problems, but I would have occasional vapor lock problems in really hot weather. The car has been a garage queen for over 10 years now so I decided that since I'm going to keep it, I better get it running again. Initially I'm cleaning the fuel system front to back and doing new fuel rubber that's E85 rated so I won't have to mess with that again. Figure while I had the tank out I'd get the K&N fuel pump and go electric, never had a problem with the electric in the 73 so why not? Also getting the rebuilt SU's from MSA and putting the TBC 6 to 1 headers on. Along with that I'm going with the Champion 3 row radiator and the double electric fans on the shroud with Evans waterless cooling fluid so I'm hoping the vapor locking and heat up in traffic will be no more than a bad memory. The car has original dealer installed A/C so I'm also going to get rid of the York and go with a Sanden compressor and update the rest for R134a. The wife and I are old so we got to have A/C!

1st time poster. Just finished dropping the tank for a cleanup and hose freshen and noticed the extra pair of wires with the fuel level sending unit on my early 71. Back in the day I had a 73 Z and it did have vapor lock problems. The dealer installed an electric pump that you could hear start as soon as the ignition was turned on. I'd always let it pressurize a little before starting and it seemed to make it a little easier to start when cold. I'm thinking of just getting the electric pump, hooking it up as the Datsun dealer did so it runs when the ignition is on. Is there really any big problem with this approach? My 73 ran this way from 74 up until the car disintegrated from rust in the early 90's.
