New guy with problems

My name is Mike and would sure like to go wheeling again. I saved a military ks from the crusher. It was being sold for scrap so I got it for $200. It now rides on 44's with a ford dana 60 up front and a 14 bolt in back. Im running 5.13 gears. But I cant wheel till I get the tbi 350 running again. I have fuel out the inline filter but nothing at the injectors,no pulse on the noid lights. It has spark fire and Ive had the ignition module tested. I even swaped in another computor. Any help would be appreciated. BTW.... Awesome site.

whats up

I started out looking for a soft top for my blazer and now iam joining your forum. it wasnt a hard decision which blazer forum to join becuase 3/4 times i was looking for parts there would be link to this site. My blazer is a 1985 rust free daily drive. trail romper. i just bought it 3 weeks ago and it is mostly stock with a 305ci. engine and 3.08 gears with 31x10.50 ughhh. i plan on posting pictures after i romp it this weekend at the creek. was hoping to find the info i need to put my d44/14 bolt running gear under it anybody who knows some of the gremlins of this swap please let me know
 
none just a conversion u joint for the rear shaft .on the front just take the brakes off hang tem on the frame and put them on the d44 .if you want to relly have fun find a old 3/4 ton 10 bolt and take the disks off and install them on the rear 14 bolt it is a easy swap.

Hey everyone. My name is Jeff Georges, for the past year I've been a PGM Broker (Platinum Group Metals). Before that I was a project car builder for Year One. I did fabrication, wiring and EFI systems. I have a couple of later model Suburbans (1992 K2500 & 1997 K2500). The 1992 Suburban is more of an Expedition type vehicle, lower lift 33"x13.5"x16" Trxus STS tires, 16"x8" Soft 8 wheels, custom built front bumper with 10,000 pound winch, and the 454 has a Comp Cam, Edelbrock Intake, Hooker Headers, dual exhaust, yada yada yada. The 1997 I picked up a few months ago with a blown-up 7.4L Vortec. Since I didn't pay much for it I started the Solid Axle Swap, but I wanted to build it with a 4-link front suspension. I'm trying to do it on a budget, but I'll be changing things as I can afford to. The front Dana 60 came out of 1997 Dodge Ram 3500, I used the factory brackets on the housing (I beefed them up and had to move the upper link bars to the inside of the bracket to clear the frame). Becasue of the size and weight of the vehicle I built the link bars out of 2 1/2"x.375 DOM tubing and the threaded tube adapters are an interference fit (.010) into the tubing. The Flex joints are Currie Johnny Joints for the RH Joints and TeraFlex for the LH Joints. For the rear suspension I fabricated my own shackle flip brackets using the factory brackets to build a jig for them. And for tires it has Swamper TSL 39.5"x15"x15". To clear the 15" wheels in the rear I swapped to disk brakes on the 14BFF and used the Cadillac Eldorado calipers to keep it street legal. Most fo the fabrication work is done so know I'm pulling everything back apart and powder coating everything to help protect it, then I have to finish re-assembling the engine.
