Getting close to the finish line. I can't wait to get to where you are at in your build. I would be hitting it every night. Your hard work is paying off, truck looks great.

Having a goal is great motivation to finish a project. Doing the same has worked for me several times. HRPT is a blast to go on.

Truck is looking great!

Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
Ok guys need help. Last night was gonna fire the truck up and stuck the battery back in it and when I when to start it no go. Checked everything was getting fire and everything then noticed the fuel running back to the tank as fast as the pump could get it there. So looks like fuel pressure regulator is stuck open I think. Yall have any ideas advice lol hate to pull the dang black plenum off the top of engine for no reason.
