Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Oh dang.
Fuel pump or fuel pump related.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Truck is at home in the house garage, up on jack stands in anticipation of dropping the fuel tank.
Not tomorrow though - I have physio after work, and while I usually have dreams of coming home and working on stuff, I'm usually lucky if I can even tie my shoes after the IMS and elecro-shock.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Looks like you were on a nice drive until it wasn’t. Hope the fix is simple!

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
The fuel pump relay was clicking, and I tried bypassing the relay and powering the pump directly, but it wasn't working. I think it's the connection inside the tank. I remember building it going "this seems rinky-dink."
I re-did the internal connections , and it is now "robust."

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Old and busted "hot" connection for the fuel pump (I'm using a Walbro 450):
I removed that gray connector, and crimped/soldered/heat-shrunk all the wires to their respective pins, with 12ga wire to the pump. There should be no problem now.
