When you put the HEI in did you rewire it or use the old coil wire? Just mess with it a bit longer. You might just figure it out..

[hewlett2002000]

well im calm now. i wont go into detail but today was a really BAD day and then that just tipped me over the edge. thank god he brought it back. lol i know whats wrong with it, the gas tank has something in it that gets sucked up and starves it for gas. i need a new tank, probably a fuel cell. well im going to bed, i hope tomorrows better (tomorrows my birthday).

don't let the truck win, no matter how many times it pisses you off. I know the idea of selling my truck has popped in my head numerous times. But I just sleep on it and change my mind the next day and work on it some more.

Happy b-day in 15 minutes.

I used to have a 1953 Chevy wagon. I got it for 1200.00 off of a guy who gave up on her. It too would starve and die out. New carb, fuel pump,then an electric fuel pump still died. I was told to boil the gas tank out, I did and the problem went away. I fixed her up, painted and chromed all I could. She looked and ran great.
One day while going to a car show she stalled right around the corner from my house . The gas gauge read 1/4 tank untill I taped it and it droped to empty. I Put some gas in and she fired right up,thats when I noticed my water pump was leaking. I had the same reaction " I AM DONE WITH YOU !!!"
I drove home and some guy asks me "Wanna sell her? " Yea sure man give me $3000.00. He came back with the cash an off she went. Man I miss her.
So whats the point of this rant ? Sleep on it, is it realy that big of a deal? We are dealing with old trucks that most likley were beat to death doing what they were made for ,WORK. Yea it can be frustrating ( I know I dont have to tell you that),but when some kid tells you nice truck, or some old timer tells you I used to have one just like that... thats a good feeling.
Think about how you would feel if you got rid of your truck, and seen one fixed up Just the way you had wanted yours ... trust me I hate seeing old 53 wagons.. it breaks my heart.

i completely understand what you just write sal i used to have a 69 chevy kingswood station wagon loved a lot but it haded to many details.
Once my wife blowout the engine and did not have any money to fixed (just married,baby daughter, not making enough $$$$$ etc ) well i parked her and wait until l have enough money to fix her. Then my brother in law comes and ask me if i would sell it to him obviously i said no and he tells me "listen why don't u sell it to me i will fixed it and latter when u are in a better position i sell it back to you"
who cant resist such a tenting offer so i said " if that its the case i wont sell it to you i give it to you thanks broo.
Great deal right !!! WRONG immediately after he haves the documents and the keys he sold it right away that mother f%^&*(.
i know what it feels to lost a car that u love in a moment of desperation so that its why i always said "THE THINGS THAT ARE WORTH IT U NEED TO WORK HARDER"
so don't give up if you love your truck get up and work harder because no one will do it for you
Fer.

well john, happy birthday from another john

[Sillyoldman]

Put it on Craigslist if you want to seal the deal. It will be gone fast & you'll never know where it went. Myself, keep it and save money to have someone remove the gremlins for you. Then concentrate on the things that wont drive you nuts.

[Bishops Trucks]

Happy Birthday. Maybe there will be a new gas tank wrapped up for you.

[slammed1966chevy]

Hey hewlett i think me and my dad have a spare gas tank laying around i think he would work adeal out for ya if you need one . just thought i would ask.
