Here's some pics guys, sorry for the delay; Everything above was fixed, new trans cooler is in, new fuel pump is in, and it's all working. I am down to an ignition problem. She ain't turnin over. I will start a new thread to ping you guys for help.

That's alot of truck in there! It looks good, but you should put your pants back on...

Those pants have been to hell and back... I could probably wring about 2 quarts of oil and 1 quart of ATF from them.

If I can nip this ignition problem in the bud tonight, she is ready to roll.

Like the wheels/tires.

Yeah, lift and tires look great.

redz 1970 K5 · 03-17-2005, 02:11 PM

thanks guys... shes gonna look a lot better when I get her out of the garage.

So, she's outta the garage, but under my power. Got the ignition thing figured out, then I discovered that I am not getting any fuel to the carb. If I poored some gas into the carb, she would start RIGHT up and run for a few secs.

There is fuel in the clear filter, but there is a big air bubble, and when I turn it over, I can tell that fuel isn't pumping. I just bought a brand new fuel pump and installed it a few nights ago. It definitely pumped for at least a few secs, because I got fuel into the filter. Probably a defective fuel pump. I bought some $14 Kragen special, so I deserve it.

Ah well, it's outta the garage, wife is happy and I am gonna take some time off from it. Probably 2 weeks before I even feel like looking at it.
