Re: V6 Pics
The TBI is a basic GM 1988 4.3L V-6 system. Stock throttle body, ECM, MAP sensor, temp sending unit, and O2 sensor. The O2 sensor is mounted in the drivers side exhaust manifold, the MAP is on the firewall just to the right of the heater box, the temp sender is tapped into the water manifold near the the factory temp sender, the ECM is under the dash on the passenger side, and the electric fuel pump is frame mounted on the passenger side. I formed new fuel supply and return lines to go back and down behind the head ending about 8 inches above the frame and used hose to connect to the new supply and return steel tubes. I ran the return line next to the supply line. I made the TBI adaptor out of 1 1/2 in thick aluminum.
Here's how to do the tank return: Buy a new stock replacement fuel pickup and sending unit. Carefully remove the sending unit. Sand an area of approximately one inch diameter to bare metal on both sides of the new units mounting plate. Drill a 3/16 hole in the mounting plate and removed any burrs. Support the mounting plate on the internal side of the plate with a 9/16 six sided socket, the six sides towards the mounting plate. Take a 5/16 diameter tapered drift punch and drive it through the hole to form a tapered flare recess. This recess will be on the outside of the plate. Using a tubing bender, bend a 5/16 steel tube to parallel the fuel pickup line ending at the same bottom level BUT returning to the OPPOSITE side of the tank. Bend the external side of the return tube down to parallel the feed line. Carefully work the new return line through the 5/16 hole to what you THINK might be its final position. Then try fit it into the tank to confirm it will install with no problems. Once this is accomplished, Silver solder the 5/16 tube into the mount plate using 45% Silver solder. If youre hesitant to try this, practice first with a piece of scrap sheet metal and scrap tubing of the same gauge as your new replacement mounting plate. I wanted the return to go back to the bottom of the tank. These tanks are vented and I didn't want fuel being sprayed back and vaporizing. If you need more info let me know. Best regards, T Herder |

Re: V6 Pics
The Hydro-Boost, p-steering box and pump all came off of a mid eighties 6.5 Diesel Blazer..
They sure don't need to be components from the same system. The one ton 4X4's ( Diesel or not ) of the same vintage will have the right stuff, too. Brackets for the pump were hand made...

Re: V6 Pics
I have one in a 63 1 ton with a 4 speed. Sorry, no pics right now. Motor is free and I will try to start it soon. I know nothing of these motors. Are they worth leaving in and running?

Re: V6 Pics
Anybody here with a 379 or a 432 or 478? These were a little rarer. Only 13 702 v-12's were made.
