Re: '72 Chevy SWB, Project Driver
Nice work man. It looks like you are so close to having everything gathered up to make this baby run. I am gonna use an inline pump too I think. You remember what year the fuel regulator was added to the fuel rail? You are using the corvette filter/regulator right?
I am looking forward to getting started on my engine install. Getting burned out on this chassis build if you know what I mean. Once it's rolling than I will feel like I'm getting some where. |

Re: '72 Chevy SWB, Project Driver
Thanks guys. Yes that WIX filter is the vette filter/reg. Returnless started in 04, vans were a little late in 05 or 06.

Re: '72 Chevy SWB, Project Driver
Sure borrow away! More than likely the ideas you speak of were stolen from someone else

Re: '72 Chevy SWB, Project Driver
For open manifolds, she isn't that loud. No coolant so I didn't let it run long. Air intake is VERY temporary

Re: '72 Chevy SWB, Project Driver
Thanks! She smooths out the more it runs. The software is ElmScan, its a scan tool that allows you to view data and read and clear codes. It doesn't have "tuning" capability like HPtuners or EFI live.
More info on it http://www.scantool.net/elmscan5-compact.html I bought it on amazon for $40 ![]() |
