How do you open the gas cap with 60 psi and not have it knock you over. I'm missing something.

Soo, if you send it out at that pressure, the tank vent has to let air in at that same rate, I think. If not vented the pressure could not be kept up, so not being vented enough could cause problems of low pressure. ???

Vented gascaps are usually always a good idea... esp if you live in a high temperature change area.
Aka I fill my tank now (45*F) and in 2 weeks it will be 70*F and sunny one day. doesnt take long. |

When I did my suburban tank I used the factory Camaro pump and housing, I just cut it off the Camaro tank and welded it onto the suburban tank. That maybe an option, suburban tank with newer Silverado flange and pump., I left my stock suburban fuel sender in for the gauge.

I think Terry said that he had to shorten the depth of the pump. |

Re: LS engine swap into 1966 c10; fuel tank install
I was reading through this thread this evening and am thinking about a 19 gallon blazer tank and module ( they are cheap on ebay) for my 61 project.
I did an 98 s10 ls swap last year and the stock pump worked fine for the 5.3 I have an original cluster with the gauges I'd like to use in the truck, but if its not practical I'll upgrade to modern gauges. I'm curious as to what you all are doing for a fuel gauge, any one using the stock gauge? If so how is it done? Thanks, Bud |

Lower frame rails were trimmed approx 1/4-1/2 " to allow proper fit.

Re: LS engine swap into 1966 c10; fuel tank install
Looks nice. Is the filler neck going to clear the frame rail?

Tucks up nice and high, hard to see from behind. I can't take credit for this install, other members pioneered this before me.

Re: LS engine swap into 1966 c10; fuel tank install
Any pictures of how you made your tail light hinge? looks awesome, good work!
