Default 1/2" Fuel Pickup

I'm replacing the fuel delivery system in my '64 with 1/2 lines, new stock configuration tank, etc. I want to use a pickup with 1/2" line, but I cannot find one. Saw an article in Car Craft about replacing a gas tank in a Chevelle, and they used a pickup from InnovativeEngineering. I can't find any information about the company or who sells the part. I've also read the threads that address modifying a pickup with 1/2'" line, but I'd rather buy one. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I saw the same article as you did, but I was not able to locate the sender. I fabricated one using my existing sender and 1/2" copper flex. If you are able to located those senders, please post here. I'd buy one for sure... There are other posts on this topic somewhere in the archives...

That is a Mopar company. The pickup is for a Mopar A-Body.

FWIW. I fabricated a 1/2" pick up line in my 68 Firebird. Then I replaced it with a fuel cell due to fuel starvation issues and picked up a tenth and a half and 1.6 MPH. Personally, I would sump the tank.
