getting started back on the 69

[Larry S]

Its been a while since Ive been on here. I took a break from the project. Heres what I have so far. I have the frame painted with the 96 5.7 vortec l460e bolted in place. I have completed all of the cab rust repair and have the cab primed in expoy. I have a 67-72 Blazer tank bolted in the rear. I have the complete 96 silverado donor. My next goal is to get the engine runable (at least cranking). Its been uncranked for a year. I'm staying with the injection. I'm still unsure about the fuel delivery system. I would like to put the pump and sender out of the 96 because I know its the correct fuel pressure for the engine, and I have it, but I've been told the sender is a different ohm than my factory 69 gauge. My blazer tank is new and has never had gas in it so I could modify the tank to make the 96 sender/pump fit, but I'm unclear if it will work my gauge correctly. Another option is an external electric pump. Any imput from guys that has done this type of swap will be appreciated!
