The Bent77 K10 now tow pig

[Bent77]

So I haven't done any trouble shooting on why the fuel pump wasn't coming on yet

I did find afrer we got home Saturday that the pressure line coming into the injector is leaking. Its the factory style line off whatever vehicle donated the injector.

Im looking to replace that whole section back to the frame with braided AN line

The cases, linkage and driveshafts all worked ok?

All that was good. Sometimes klunking in the front somewhere

I have the factory filter-hardline-braided line deal from an '87 with dual tanks if you decide to go for "free" instead of braided AN stuff.

Do you cover anywhere in this here thread how you mounted you CB antenna? Nicole and I were discussing getting mine off the front fender and it occured to me yours worked plenty fine where it's mounted.

Ill take a picture

Hooked up the fuel system the way it was running, and the truck starts. That tells me the fuel pump is weak, and my likely culprit Saturday. Changing the filter might have helped, and it hasn't been running all day

In 15 seconds on, I have a 18" diameter puddle of fuel underneath.



Got free shipping from Jegs, 10' of Russell braided -6AN line, some fittings, maybe a spacer for a BBC throttle body.

Probably do an in tank pump upgrade this round

What inline pump are you running?

In tank tbi pump right now.

Haven't eliminated the idea of a frame pump or a tank pump

 

[skunked]

Oh so you mean an better in tank pump as the "upgrade"

 

[Bent77]

Either or. A good tank pump would be nice, dont have to hear it. Frame pump is easier to get to, so you wont have to

In tank, keep it cool. It's not a drag car.

Yep you shouldn't have to change it out that often anyway to need it external.

Youre right. This one lasted just over a year

It's your fault.

 

[Bent77]

It's your fault.

Theres some logic to that, never was able to get more than 12 PSI at the injector, and it needs 15.
Probably over worked the crappy pump
