That is truly Bluetiful

K5 Addiction · 02-08-2013, 11:59 AM

Here's a couple pictures of it all buttoned up before it went to exhaust today. Hopefully it'll be on the road early next week.

K5-
Maybe i missed in while crusing through your thread--but what's the deal with your fuel injection setup?

It's a F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup.

Thanks so much Delmo! As a big fan of your work that means a lot! Now I just gotta get my truck layed out like yours.

curious as to what fuel tank and pump you are using?

Hey Paintman, I'm using a 1961 Schlitz 15 & a half gallon keg. It's been fitted with a fuel sending unit that works with the stock gauge. The fuel pump is an electric one that comes with the F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup. It's controlled by the computer.

K5 Addiction · 02-11-2013, 11:17 PM

Well It'd probably be running now but I'm waiting to take delivery of a new radiator as my old one is toast. So here's a couple more detailed under hood shots & new tail pipes. I'll post new exhaust pics once I get it back on the lift.

boucher racing · 02-11-2013, 11:24 PM

dammit boy! looks great. I like the sneaky routing of the vacuum adv. hose.

Ha thanks man! Grant does excellent work.

K5 Addiction · 02-13-2013, 12:20 PM

Here's some exhaust shots. Had to run under the axle for now till I raise my bed a couple inches. (strangely when I upload these pics there getting turned around but you get the idea)

flips72 · 02-14-2013, 09:01 PM

extremely nice work, cant wait to see the dyno sheet, let us know how the fast injection works out for you, i have been consdering it for mone as well.

K5 Addiction · 02-15-2013, 06:50 PM

Well had a setback today, Would been on the road tonight but my Pertronix distributor's cap took a **** on me & there is not a corresponding parts store cap that I can find anywhere. I'm dead in the water till Tuesday when I can get one delivered. Huge bummer! Was looking forward to burnin some petrol.

paintman · 03-04-2013, 06:56 PM

Any updates??????????????????????????? I'm curious as to how that 250 runs with the TBI carb!

K5 Addiction · 03-13-2013, 11:10 PM

Been awhile since I updated, It's been a frustrating couple weeks since the distributor cap mishap. Took awhile to get the new cap. Reinstalled & couldn't get the truck to fire at all & I've got a pro fuel injection tuner working on this. started checking everything Fuel pump, spark, computer I mean everything twice then got to checking to see if something bigger was wrong (internal engine issues) did a compression test & found 4 out of 6 cylinders had abnormally low PSI. We started wondering if the backfires caused by the cap problems hadn't caused some damage, Maybe blew a hole in a piston or something. so we pulled the head & found the head gasket blew between 2nd & 3rd & 4th & 5th cylinders. Ughh! sent the head to be checked for cracks or other issues & it's all good. Reinstalled everything truck fired right up. tuned & now touching up paint. It's running pretty good now. They say the computer will constantly be tuning & will run better all the time. Plan on driving it a bunch this weekend so I'll keep yall posted.

CRGRS 66 · 03-14-2013, 03:48 PM

pheeeew, could have been a lot worse...

paintman · 03-14-2013, 07:22 PM

Man I have so many questions in regards to your carb setup, but that's not important right now. The biggest question is where did all the gasket pieces go from the front cylinder? Hopefully out the exhaust!
