It works once it’s primed

If you ever run it out of gas it won’t self prime
You have to prime it with a hand vacuum pump

At least mine was that way

Interesting,when I first started the system was bone dry and had no troubles

I am surprised that the frame mounted pump is quiet. Had a set of them when I had a Holley projection system. They were quite loud. I went with the in the tank set up mainly for the tank baffles, keeping the pump cool and noise level down.

How’s the ac working for you?

Madhorn · May 7, 2019

It was warm enough yesterday to run the AC. It worked great.

While changing out a squeaky serpentine belt I saw a puddle of anti freeze on the floor. Found the top hose tank connection was leaking. I guess after 20 years it’s time for a new radiator.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Up and at it early this morning. Had to get a new radiator installed in the 77 in time for my son to drive it to school. His truck needed a once over before heading out on a weekend training trip.
New radiator installation went well. So far so good. BTW the radiator was from Autozone PN A161.

Wasn’t sure I liked the idea of a single row aluminum radiator with plastic tanks. It fit well and seems to be cooling fine as well.

Just made a 100 mile run at highway speeds. Still feeling a slight vibe and seeing the trans and transfer case shifters wobble between 60 and 65. I am thinking I need to start looking at running a double carden joint at the transfer case. Considering ordering a shaft from Dennie’s. No way am I going back to place that built my current drive shaft.

Today I went to cam swap my ls and nothing but bad news lol got the cam out and one lobe has bad wear and the bearing and a push rod and rocker on another cylinder looks like someone did a quick fix and reground the ball, the crazy thing is the motor doesn’t make any noise and runs great
