Sorry for being such a newbe But Can I just screw the sender into the hole on top of the filter (bleeder screw port) and have gauge work, with everything stock? Do I need a lift pump?
you need an adapter, remove your bleeder screw and notice that the sender is an 1/8 npt thread totally different. you will get restriction once the fuel hits the filter/CP3 and all the twist and turns the fuel takes shouldnt be a problem.
