Let me down
The old K5 let me down today. I live in Annapolis Md and is was 80 degrees today! I was on my way home windows open cruisin along and it sputtered and quit. I rolled to the side of the road and it was what I thought- a bad fuel pump. Last month in almost the same spot it left me- bad alternator.
I bought it from a gentleman that had it sitting for the last 2 yrs. I expected somethings to go wrong. It has an old HEI init, thinking about ordering a MSD replacement HEI and throwing in! The pic with the top on is the day I went and looked at it and purchased it. The topless pic was taken a couple weeks ago when it was in the 70's. I have driven Sqaure Bodys since the early 90's and I always wanted a K5. |

Re: Let me down
Nice Blazer. It looks like it's in pretty good shape, and I like the color scheme.

Re: Let me down
Nice truck! At least you didn't have to drain and drop the tank to do the fuel pump
 yet another bonus of owning an old truck!!Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Let me down

Re: Let me down
It is great driving an old truck! Just like you guys said a couple of wrenches, bailing wire and we can't forget...... duct tape!! I drove it in to work today, runs better than it ever has! It must have had low fuel pressure for a while.

Re: Let me down
I had the same problem with mine... acted like it was running out of gas when it was warmed up. Left me stranded a couple of times. It wound up being a bad fuel pump. Nice lookin Blazer you have there... Good luck.
