    Where can I find a fuel tank wiring harness??

    Where can I find a fuel tank wiring harness??

    So my truck will start and run and then will die. I have determined that the fuel selector valve is losing power, thus not allowing fuel from the drivers side tank to continue to flow. I have traced all the wires back to the rubber plug that passes through the firewall. I have power from the...

    Update!!! I found an adapter through speedway motors. It is a brass insert that goes into the back of the power steering pump and changes it from o ring to inverted flare. I then used the regular stock hose with inverted flare on both ends. It works perfectly and has no leaks. The...

    AC mods/upgrades/conversion question.

    I went to the serpentine setup. I have two or three of the old compressors with brackets. If you decide to go with the old setup, and plan to head west to Phoenix anytime soon, you can have one of these.

    Thanks for the pic Thanks so much for the pic! I feel so much better. I am going to try and upload a pic of mine. I have identified the correct wire. It may have been purple at one time but it looks brown to me now. The top wire is the red wire which I have running to the big positive on...
