Re: Need help on a couple of things

Does it still run???

That appears to be a later model TBI engine due to the valve covers, it looks like you have a Edelbrock carb on it now. TBI engines did not have a block mounted fuel pump they used an in-tank pump (many are machined for a block pump just no fuel pump rod and they have a block off plate on the hole). Squares other than the late model TBI trucks did not have in-tank pumps so they had to add an inline pump to get fuel up to the injection/carb. If that was your only fuel pump your truck will not run once it empties the bowls.
