But WHY? Looks perfectly safe!

You GOT TO chock the wheel...

Before I replaced the entire system I Tried replacing the muffler only and I jacked from the side and was able to get to and cut off the front.

No worries brother! Usually when I get the 68 up in the air I get it so far off of the ground that both tires on what ever side I am lifting lose contact with the ground anyway. The key thing (and I am glad to hear it) is that you are using jack stands. Make sure that your other wheels are...

Thats awesome!

That is just awesome. Anybody got a light?

My favorite is "Disc brakes are for sissies"...while we are on the subject of safety

There is a story for the grandkids... Glad you made it out alive! :-)

It ain't easy being cheesy...

I used a ball peen hammer and a flat head screwdriver. The tank was empty at the time BUT I am sure there were still some remaining fumes from draining it.

Update: Got the gasket installed PROPERLY! Got the lock ring in and centered. Tank hung back up again. NO LEAKS! With the new tank, sending unit, new fuel filters and rubber lines it seems to be running better than before. I had her out in stop & go traffic for about an hour Friday evening...

How the heck do you do that WITHOUT dropping the tank? I finally gave up, pulled the tank, drained it, and reinstalled everything. I tried re-positioning the lock ring without dropping the tank; I couldn't get enough torque on the hammer to get the ring to move. Turns out I had the gasket...

I will be honest...I had the gasket on the OUTSIDE of the sending unit. I watched this bloke in the UK working on his 68 Polara and noted the correct placement. So I cleanex up the lock ring and put the gasket on properly. We eill see once I install the tank in the morning...

How does this look?

You say that like it is a bad thing...

Once again; not the point. I have neither the time nor the inclination to try explaining the actual point any further. Neither was the point to denigrate to the level of throwing passive aggressive insults or making a very poor attempt to insert one's political agenda.

You miss the point...most did...and aparently I am high anyway so I am just going to let it go.

Probably better if I just say I am high, isn't it?:lol:

Well played sir!
