got a few things done, picked up a tail shaft plug from matco, made some power steering hoses, hooked up a oil pressure and temp gauge, but now it won't idle and when it dies its hard to start

What transmission crossmember are you using? is it stock? I need to come up with something I can run 3" exhaust over the top of on both sides.

Re: my 80 build

Coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: my 80 build
 
Would it be a huge inconvenience to take a good pic of that trans crossmember for me. What did those come on?

Looks like you used a fitting right there from the braided line to the fuel sender, do you remember the part number for it? Is it one off Glock's list?

Re: my 80 build
 
for the sender lines I shortened both the return and feed line a inch or so and used this one for a return line

Thanks, I bought these parts too from Glock's list....just wondering though how you got the line started at the fuel tank / sender? (I've never used braided lines before)

So, did you:

1. cut the ends off the 3 fuel sender's tubes,
2. then put a nut on each fuel sender line,
3. then flared the fuel sender line with your 37' flaring tool,
4. then threaded your a/n end onto the nut?

One other question, are you running one or two fuel tanks?

Thanks for your help!
