Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
ordered new acorn lug nuts from rockauto and ill get my wheels back on...
trying to figure out my gas tank problem. currently im starting the truck with my hose from fuel pump running to a gas tank on the floor, but i want to run it to my actual tank. i blew air threw the lines and it seems not to be blocked....but my problems is how im going to handle the fill tube. i raised my tank 2 inches so it doesnt get smashed when i air it out, but obviously the stock fill doesnt line up. should cut out the original mounting hole, and raise it up a few inches...or weld it up and run a "through the floor" mount in the truck? i would rather keep stock location, but im sure the 2" rise in the hose would keep gas sitting there....i like the 2" move up but it might look out of place....im not sure about the floor mount because i dont want gas smell all throughout the truck.... opinions welcome..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Raise up the stock one or add a newer gas door. I wouldn't put it inside either.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
np..i think i will just move up the stock fill tube, im not a big fan of the pop open doors.
if i mounted it as is, with the stock hole 3" lower than the tank, would that allow gas to sit there in the tube or not even make it to the tank (causing gas to spill out)? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Got the fuel line finished outback..i bent the stock line up the notch, bought a new flared line and bent that around the rest of the notch, connected the 2 together with a small piece of fuel hose and clamps, then ran about a foot of fuel hose from the tank to the hardline on the frame like the factory did. Not the most prfoessional setup, but it should work and will be covered by the floor anyways. Also installed new rear brake lines from lmc. Working on the fuel filler..and thinking of this....
 Im going to have to use a spacer on the filler to mount it right...its at a small angle. Does anyone see a problem running in like this? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
finally "finished" up the fuel filler hole. i cut it out and raised it up a few inches and forward about 1 inch. fill tube is still a little at a slant, but im thinking of cutting the dip off the stock filler and running a straight tube.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Angle of the fill tube. I already put gas in and it filled fine..nothing spitting back up. Truck turned on and ran also, so i know. The fuel pump is working.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
I noticed something when im running the motor....i can see some light smoke coming from the passenger side of the motor. I thought it was something from the wires, but i didnt see anything. Not coming directly out of the manifold either. Just the passenger area of the motor...not sure what it could be. The top of the motor (valve covers, water neck, etc.) was getting really hot, not sure if thats normal with the old motors. Was real hot to the touch. As soon as i get my brake problem sorted out ima gonna take it for a spin and see if i notice anything.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Nice job on the fuel fill.
Can't tell from your pics if you have a pcv or not? if not, or if its' bad then it leads to pressure buildup and it can look like it's "steaming" Also, Maybe leaking from valve covers onto the headers?

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Thanks fellas
I do have a pc valve..its brand new and runs to the front of the carb. Not sure if thats where its supposed to go...? I dont see any oil spilling out anywhere. It doesnt look like the typical "oil leaking dripping on something hot" smoke...just like foggy looking smoke sort of. I can see it in the carb too...ill try to take a pic tomorrow Posted via Mobile Device
