Where does the rubber hose for the fuel tank attach?

[Oathkeeper13]

Hi I'm very new to the restoration scene, I have no idea what I'm doing.. I don't have anyone to help me. This 63 was given to me 13 years ago(I was 9) from my late grandfather. I'm trying my best to restore this 63. I need help really bad. I literally don't know where this rubber hose for the fuel tank attaches from the filter to the tank. Does it attach to the sending unit?

My manuals are not very descriptive as I needed them to be. I've been working on it for a year now and I'm so close to getting it to run. I know absolutely nothing about cars so I apologize in advance.

Can you send a picture?

In your profile, why not add your location. This is a pretty good sized group and help may be near by.

One extra IMPORTANT note. In the photos you will see me tapping the lock ring into place with a screwdriver. This was a new tank that never had any fuel in it, so not a problem in this case. If your tank has had fuel in it, at any time whatsoever, do NOT use a steel tool to lock the ring. Use a brass drift instead to preclude the possibility of producing a spark, potentially making the tank, with you sitting on top of it, go BOOM.

Look through the rest of the website while you're there. There's quite a bit of information you may find useful. I would suggest downloading anything you might want. The entire site will unfortunately be coming down sometime in the next few months. Circumstances beyond my control.

Jim,

What is happening to your website if you don't mind me asking? I'm on there often. It's an amazing resource.

Unfortunately the excellent program I used to construct the site, Apple's IWeb, has been discontinued and there is no provision to transfer the content to a different program. At this point I can't even access the site to change anything that's already there, no less upload anything, and there are mutiple issues with it at this point. The service provider has warned me that because of the vulnerabilities presented that are no longer fixable, they will be taking it down sometime within the next few months. I just don't have the time or the inclination to learn another program and totally reconstruct the content. Life moves on, technologically speaking. All the photos on the site continue to be downloadable as of today, although captions will have to be copied manually. I'll still be here on the Forum, and will continue in my capacity as tech adviser for 61-63, and will also still be available on the phone.
