Haven't we discussed this before?
I agree and would add that, if it's a conversion and NOT a '75 model, you will always have a certain "fuel-level-dependent" fuel delivery issues during cornering, accelerating and braking because only the '75 fuel tank has a mini-sump surrounding the fuel pickup to keep fuel from sloshing away from the pickup during those conditions!
