Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

You've got fuel pumps in the tanks, right? Do both pumps stay running all the time when the key is on or does only the pump for the tank that's selected run? Don't know if this has been asked or not, but I've been thinking about a fuel injection swap in mine and this problem/question has come up in my mind.

Any extra wiring required between the switch and tanks when going from mech. to electric fuel pumps?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

hope this works... In case it is hard to see, the lettering on the 6-pin plug that goes into the switching valve is, from left to right on the diagram, F E D C B A. F is not used.

This drawing uses a generic on/off/on type switch. But for the factory switch, the wiring is:

A - Black (Ground)
B - Gray (Right Pump 12v)
C - Tan/Black (12V in to switch, to power pumps)
D - Tan (Left Pump 12v)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

Glock are you out there?

This is a wonderfull thread, I have read and re-read several times and catch something new each time.

I have an '84 LWB completely restored but still has the 305/700R4 combo in it. I have finally assembled all the parts and a 5.3/4L60E to start this project. I do still need to send the harnes and computer in for mod to standalone.

I have one question right now with probably alot more to follow in the future. You made an extension to frame mount on the pass side to support the new motor mount location and mentioned you would make a template. I will be doing the samething to mine but can't find the template, but I'm guessing from the pictures that you added about 2-3 inchs to the mount?

I was looking forward to the square body trailing arm conversion and the LS swap kit he talked about. Did he start another thread on either of these?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

Hey Bill! Fred be good! Still the most dead solid reliable truck I think I've ever owned. The A/C needs worked on though, one of the R134 adapters has been leaking just ever so slightly and now it just cycles the compressor off and on. Otherwise, he's great!

Haven't done anything to him expect to drive him as much as possible. Will probably work on the A/C over the fall. Have been kicking around the idea of selling him next year and finish my 70 K10 by putting a 4.8 or 5.3 in it, A/C, clean up the interior and paint her. Selling Fred would get all that done. But it's just a though right now, nothing for sure.

In the mean time, my son is getting closer to driving age, and is really getting antsy to work on his 69 (in sig below). He has joined the forum too (brycerowdy), so hopefully he will be keeping me a little more active on here.

Yep, you can't let your son see you slackin' now can you? I'm sure he'll do great having had seen what all you've done on your many projects Bob. That's the right way to be an inspiration for the next generation.
