Fuel Pump bulkhead conversion to AN - more detail / pics?
I found LawDogg's tutorial on the Wiki here:
Fuel: Repair Gas Tank Studs and Fuel Pump Assembly - 3000GT/Stealth Wiki
I tried replacing the stock rubber line, and with 150K and 20 years of rust, it just wasn't happening. The hard line near the pump wiggled enough trying to separate it that it started changing color, which meant it was about to break, so I decided to just cut it and get the 3SX pump to hardline line. Then, as usual, the hard line under the car is having nothing to do with that, either, so I think I'm going to be stuck getting the full tank to filter line. Rather than deal with mitsu fittings, I want to do the AN conversion.

My questions are:
1) What does the bottom of the assembly look like? My guess is the barbed fitting for the fuel line and a rubber high pressure fuel line to the pump, but is that just attached to the threaded end of the 90* fitting on the top, with the gasket in between?
2) What does the rubber seal do? Is that to keep the tank sealed and keep pressure correct? Do you need a seal on the top AND bottom of the 90* fitting from the top?
What I think I can do with mine, since I'll just have a 6AN hose connection, is get a 90* 6AN / 6AN fitting, a seal (or two?), and the 6AN barbed fitting for underneath. I don't *think* I need anything except for those two fittings?
I've never done this before, so any guidance or hints are greatly appreciated!
And if it works, I'll post pics of the top, side, and bottom of the assembly.
