Re: Senior Project Build
Sounds like a load to me...sounds like they're not interested in your work and wanted to just throw a valve in there that would work. Is there another shop you could take it to? I'd be concerned...

Re: Senior Project Build
As far as electrical work, you basically just need power to the MSD box.

Re: Senior Project Build
It's all fun and games until red hot rivet heads go bouncing down your shirt. Grinding while laying on your back is no fun. Trying to make way for the fuel cell

Re: Senior Project Build
So I ground out the rivets and busted out that little weeny cross member to make way for the fuel cell, also had to hack my new exhaust, as previously stated. I now have turn downs right at the axle

Re: Senior Project Build
Hmmm its kinda far. I will have to see what I can find locally. Should I just bring a valve to the machine shop its at? I found the right one on sdparts.com for 17 bucks

Re: Senior Project Build
That sucks you had to cut off your pipes. I have a blazer tank and I ran mine right outside of the frame rails.
You just need to get creative with some bent pipe! I'd get it all welded back up before I put fuel in the tank ![]()

Re: Senior Project Build
Sorry you had to hack 'em....I got lucky and mine fit fine with the blazer tank. Course I had the spare in there at that time so he had to go around it.
