Pull that tank out of the box and make sure the filler neck seam isn’t cracked where it meets the tank. Common issue with the $hitty packaging.

Thank for the heads up! I inspected and sprayed brake clean all around the area, and watched inside the tank. If it's cracked brake clean will flow right through, I saw no leaks or cracks.

The box was hammered to shit also. I would not have thought of that though.20210129_143754.jpg 20210129_143801.jpg 20210129_143804.jpg 20210129_143814.jpg 20210129_143810.jpg

Rookie Mistake, It was an impulse Buy anyway. I did my taxes and found out I was getting enough to cover Proflo, so BroFlo Militia it is. I'm hoping for a life changing experience.

Not sure efi is life changing. But a 250 shot is!
 
I really like the AN-6 fittings and hoses, I know they have been around a long ass time but I have never use them. I even ordered the fittings to correctly connect to the 87 blazer fuel sender fittings to AN-6. My project is slightly delayed because of it. I ordered gm 10 micron fuel filter with quick disconnect AN-6 fittings also. But I will have all but one fitting needed and will be out in the garage tomorrow AM trying to pile away on the PF4 install. I'm anxious for it. I'm also contemplating cutting a hole in the bed floor to access the fuel pump and building a cover. My bed wood is super rotted, so it would be no crime to cut it.

FYI- you may find the added return spring is excessive.

I messed with the return spring for a bit, that is a soft spring. I tried it with and without. It's pretty smooth currently. Appreciate the advice tho!
 
I seriously need to take my Dremel with a cut-off wheel to those self tappers sticking through the firewall. Those look like crap after posting those pics.

Not that my truck is that great looking anyway, well it is to me. Ha. I just wanna go wheeling soon.

I didn’t notice it until you said something, but now that you did......:hack:
 
The cosmetic aspect isn't as bothersome as the danger to the back of my hand thought.
:doah:
 
I actually ordered the incorrect AN8 fittings for the fuel filter, and realized it while working along Saturday. So, I hopped on Amazon and ordered the correct ones at about 2pm Saturday. They were in the Spokane Fulfillment center I guess, cause they were in my mailbox the next Day here is Lewiston.
 
Got it running. Will be driving it thus week. Ordered a phone holder/charger off Amazon for 25$ to hold and charge my.phone while driving.

Need to buy about 200$ worth of electrical supplies to clean up my harness and wires a little more.

I buttoned the wires up more than this pic before hitting the road.
