Blazer's 85 Suburban "Twinkie"

It was see how it looks fit, the rusted clamps are even the wrong size.

Next you will want me to paint the clamps too.

Not sure I will paint the boxes have six others that are green, not sure I want to paint them all. If I did that I may have to start grinding welds and stuff like that on the body. :whistle:


Going to get all the clamps and boxes drilled then paint the clamps and make a decision on what to due color wise with the boxes.
 
I say leave the ammo cans green, monochrome vehicles (even od desert tan) are boring to look at and show you care too much about it, like that nicely painted gas tank that you can't see anymore...
 
So a bit of an update

Bought a bag made out of netting using it as a shifter cover kind of like it but not quite sure.

Got all the ammo cans in. Ended up using 50 cal in the front and 30 cal in the back seems to fit rather well and gives me more space then what I had before.

Mounted the milk crates needed a place to put hoses and belts and towels and stuff like that.

The space between them can be for food that doesn't go into the cooler. The cooler fits tons better also.

On a different note sold my two cows and the power tank so will have the money to buy the filters as soon as the money from the cows gets here.

How much per pound for the cows?
We got 1.00 per pound at the auction Wednesday for one of our culls.

Shortage of beef is huge around here!
 
Think it was like .80 a pound. May have been a bit less. They were a Dutch belted and her daughter. About 600 lbs each so not to big.

So the MPFI install is about to happen

Umm a few questions

should I use the stock pick up for the system
or
redo it and make a new pick up with the Walbro ends in the four corners.

If I go with the Walbro's do I need a pre pump filter?

I have not ever had an issue with running out of fuel using the stock pick up

I do not have a problem drilling a hole in the tank or what ever, to make another system work.

I do need to run a return line also, bigger then the 7/16 it has now. So the stock line will work for that although it would return to the middle of the tank. The directions say not to run the return near the pick up or you get air in the pick up.

So any ideas ?
 
So in order to keep it simple think I am going to just use the stock pick up as a pick up.

Run the return line into the top of the tank somewhere.
 
Is it a carbed tank now? If so, what i would do if i was you is just swap to a TBI tank. They have the baffles inside.
 
Keep it simple not gonna cost ya in the long run if ya need to redo it so I vote stock pickup
 
Although fuel injection is probably gonna allow you to get a little more angle than before
 
yeah, simple is easier

think the Walboro's eliminate the need for a filter before the pump? if they dont save me the cost of buying a filter.
