modifying Fbody Racetronix pump into different tank but there's a twist. I have a little 89 C1500 sierra I've been doing an LS swap on
I swapped my old Racetronix pump onto the assembly and wired it (Soldering is fine correct?)
anywho, The racetronix has a tiny barb on the very top of the pump with a small hose that had a filter sock. From my understanding, The hose is meant to keep the bucket in the FBody tank full at all times due to lack of baffles in the tank. I do not know if this is correct or not, But since I don't have a bucket in the assembly, Would I be fine capping it off?
here are some pictures for demonstration, I dont have any of the racetronix pump mounted on the assembly though, phone died.
you can see the small hose coming from the top of the pump
The 89c1500 fuel pump assembly.
What do you guys think? should I cap it?

Yes the small line needs to be capped. The line originally went to the bottom of the bucket where the fuel expelled from it spun a jet pump. This jet pump in turn sucked in fuel at the bottom of the bucket to keep it full.
I'm using a 2002 F body bucket assembly in my Superlite Coupe.
