Stock gas tank size needed for in tank fuel pump order

Post by Analog »

I need to order an in tank fuel pump for a 71 Wagoneer for a sniper EFI system. I plan to use the Holley die cast retrofit pump. Holley suggested 12-129 which I think is incorrect because the Holley sniper requires 3/8ths supply lines and that model is 1/4. It looks like the 19-350 is the correct pump. My main question is about the depth of the stock tank. I can't get a measurement today so I thought I'd ask here. The Holley pump will work in tanks from 6" to 12" deep. Can anyone confirm that the tank is within that range?


Thanks,
1971 Wagoneer Custom Buick 350, 700r4, Holley sniper and Hyperspark.

last time I measured about 11 1/2" to be slightly above the bottom of the metal tank on the 74 for the fuel pick up line from the top of the metal ring for the fuel intake
