Exhaust manifold; vent check valve - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

David623 · 12-12-2014, 09:21 AM

I have put a 1999 5.3 Silverado engine and trany into a 1972 Jimmie. From what I see the existing exhaust manifolds will not work without modifying the frame, from research on this website Trailblazer, Corvette, Camaro manifolds will work which is the best choice? Also I am dealing with relocating the A/C compressor, Kwik performance I think has that problem solved, sent them an email for more information. And finally I have put an Aeromotive fuel pump in the new gas tank I need to find a check valve to complete the fuel line.
I will post some pic soon, just put the rebuilt tub back on the frame.

What do yo need a check valve for? Are you wanting something like a rollover valve? The pump itself "holds" as much pressure as needed, you don't need a 1-way valve on the fuel system.

The check valve is for the fuel system, I installed an Aeromotive fuel pump in the new gas tank and there is a supply, return and a vent connection on the pump And I assume it is to prevent a vacuum and not let the gases from the tank to get out.

Here is a shot of the new tank and fuel pump installed.

OH you mean on the evap line? My bad, I thought you wanted a check valve in-line with the actual feed or something.

In that case, I've seen a few different things used. You can get away with nothing, but a breather or a PCV (ball-check) will work as a low buck solution.

I just left the evap canister connected to the tank.

I used the Hooker cast iron manifolds. They support 500 HP, and fit way better than any stock manifolds I've tried.

Is that a suburban tank?

I pretty sure the tank is the same for the Suburban and Jimmy, I got mine from LMC and they list is for both. I do have to modify the tank spout a little it wasn't same as the old tank.
