how do i get these connections off?
[/QUOTE]

the Gey clip pulls out and allows for the whit clip to bet removed like regular. thier designed to locked in place.

For sending unit and pump it is neccesary to install a AC Delco EP 241 electric fuel pump into the tank. The driver side tank used a GM 25090846 sending unit and the passenger side uses a GM 25090837. depending on what tank you decide to use.

Good luck

thanks for the help guys

going to use stock tank on the 84. drivers side only

[low_84_inchaska]

ordered pans from captkaos, looking forward to getting them

[low_84_inchaska]

got the drivers side pan almost complete, i will post some pics soon. I think the extended pans from captkaos will pretty much do the job, save for a little patch on the rocker.

Looks Familiar, 2nd pic bottom left, that little tool. I didnt realize how loud it was until I was using it at about 10pm.

[low_84_inchaska]

yeah! that little tool with the cutting bit and the chisel have been my best friend

here is a pic of my other chevy and a pic of my dirty vortec that needs to be cleaned up and painted before the swap.

[low_84_inchaska]

well i got a 4l60e built and my computer sent into jesse bubb and my harness sent to current performance...so in the mean time i ordered up some fatmatt for the sound deadening inside. i plan on installing it on the firewall, floor, back wall and maybe the roof if i can find a headliner to cover it up. Gonna make that badboy quiet inside.

i had the computer tune for the schoenfeld long tubes and aftermarket intake,,was going to put a mild cam in while the motor was out but decided against it. they say if you put the 6.0l cam in from gm it makes it a vortec max.

my duramax is down the road and this is my new "chevy" i am really cracking on my truck right now cause i am pretty much truckless right now.

[low_84_inchaska]

also been looking at picking colors too cause i want to shoot the jambs and interior but i just cannot decide!! i have been over and over the picture thread...i wouldnt mind doing a gold and white but i dont want a gold gold,,,kinda want a yellow metallic gold.

[silvereagle07]

If you're looking for a custom color, check out PPG's vibrance line of paints. Really nice colors. Sweet Camaro!btw I wish I could fit the family in one. I'd have one in the driveway today.

[low_84_inchaska]

does anyone know what color this is, this is exactly the yellow gold i have been looking for, going to do it two tone with white.

[RandyP]

With the flop and color change that car has on the roof, it has to be a chameleon paint job. The color name, don't know. I'd say somewhere between "OMG expensive" to "wth would pay that".

[low_84_inchaska]

i am just wondering on the gold color not the roof

[Dropped84GMC]

i would have to say thats close to merigold paint color with some heavy gold flake in it

i learned something when i was tranny shopping apparently my motor has the 12 o'clock bolt on the bell housing so i had to find a bell housing to fit my
4L60E and also you have to watch out for the pins on the transmission connector to make sure they are 12 or 13 pin, in 1995 they went to the 13 pin connector and the newer computers will not work with the older transmissions. correct me if i am wrong. Just a couple things to have in mind when your buying stuff for your swap.

here is a pic of the bellhousing for my truck.
