a couple more fuel line to fuel pump photos

A few photos of the carb/spacer on engine, ( yes it is two inches and it makes more power over rpm range) and carb to fuel pump line. The dual feed setup on carb is from Quick Fuel. The line from it to fuel pump is fuel hard line bent to fit. Will post photo of new line bender that works great later.

A couple more photos, one of the new clutch reservoir to cylinder hose, it is made for brake fluid, and from an BMW application. The ID of the hose is the closest to 1/4 inch I could find, off by a couple 0.02 inches- pretty close.

The other photo is of the front of the engine, not complete but getting closer.

Nest step is to work on the wiring harness to remove unused connections and clean it up, along with carb linkage hook-up.

A couple of photos of the Rigid tube bender used , along with tube flare tool. They were used to make the hard fuel line from fuel pump to carb.

More progress on the truck tonight, finished the fuel line from fuel pump to carb and installation of oil pressure sending unit. The adapter used to raise the oil sending unit, was from a different chevy engine, photo of it along with engine progress. Also started cleaning up the engine wire harness. A lot of the wires are no longer needed, including the computer under the dash. Using the 1986 Chevy Truck Wiring Diagrams manual to confirm which are not needed. The photos show the initial sorting of keepers and ones to be removed/released.

The first photos also shows the coil mounting bracket used. It connects to an intake manifold bolt. It keeps the coil mounted to the engine.

The MSD 6AL box will be mounted in the cab under the dash, by the right end of heater distribution box. The original computer will be removed and its firewall grommet used to connect wiring to MSD box. More photos of it to be provided. The engine wiring harness changes are being made to clean up firewall appearance.
