Hi and welcome. To hook up your metering pump ( I assume you have a 12a car) you need a rod that goes from the pump itself to a lever on the carb. This lever is closest to the front of the car on the carb and is accessable from the pass side front. A few fine washers and cotter pins is all that holds it to the pump and carb. As for your gas tank issue I would keep your eye on the for sale section on this forum. Tanks come up for sale in part outs etc from time to time. Be ready to spend a little money because you are not alone in your quest for a good gas tank and there are others who will scoop it out from under you lol. You also might consider a fuel cell like what Summit racing sells. The only drawback is fitment and usually loss of your spare wheel well. Hope this helps. Good luck

You may have to drill holes going into the primary venturis and tap vacuum ports into the holes. Then connect the OMP lines to those fittings. Suction from the engines vacuum does the rest. Youll know you did it right if you can see oil sucking down the venturis while revving at idle with the air filter off. Simply drilling into the air filter will not have enough vacuum to suck the oil through. Tapping into a standard vacuum line will give inconstant amounts of oil.

Also I believe only 81-85 tanks with 12a will fit your car properly.
