Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Just thinking is it possible that while assembling the fitting into the hoses that a piece of something somehow got into the hose?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
No, it was flowing into the tank from the return line like a fire hose.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Whew, been down and out feeling bad last couple of days. Got the tank back in to test the return line change today. We'll be hard at it this weekend!

I would not have guessed that the return line size difference would have been the issue here. Good job. And I hope you'll be feeling better too. |

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Just getting ready to leave work, stayed to re-coat the tank and a few more pieces to bolt on this weekend. Autumn and I will be at it tomorrow... wish us luck with the fire up.
