Most of the early AUs suffered fuel surge when the fuel level got below 1/4 of a tank ussually when cornering hard or quick take offs ,most prominently at track and drag days.Fords explanation of this was as the pickup, sock faces forward (to the front of the car) the fuel would run to rear thus creating the surge problem, the dealership fix was to spin the pickup point around 180' : Note; this was a "FORD FIX" go figure it seems to work
