No fuel to carb
I mounted it on the carrier bearing crossmember. That way I was able to run my power wire along the original harness. its forward of the crossmember that bridges the fuel line. There was already two holes drilled in the crossmember that lined up perfect for the pump so I mounted it there. The...- Lu Blunt

I reinstalled the...- Lu Blunt

There’s a link to the instructions on the first page, no need to look them up. Yes I saw the instructions say it would require a regulator. But I was already home and thought at 2-3.5 psi and running into the mechanical fuel pump it might work ok. I have two other carb trucks with electric...- Lu Blunt

No fuel to carb
There’s a filter on the inlet of the electric pump and edelbrock recommends a filter between the pump n the carb so I have an inline filter right after the electric pump. I checked flow where the lines meet the mechanical pump and seems to push gas no problem. so I don’t think the inline filter...- Lu Blunt

No fuel to carb
I installed the electric pump and spent a while test driving the truck. Seems like the engine doesn’t like the electric pump on when you’re going real slow in granny or reverse. It’ll just die instead of lugging the motor. So I drove for while with the electric pump off. After the motor was...- Lu Blunt

Got the fuel lines cleaned up and truck seemed to be running like normal. I drove 50 miles to town without any trouble. On the way home the truck struggled to hold 65mph. It wasn’t running rough just seemed down on power. I pulled over about half way home n checked things over but nothing...- Lu Blunt

Only one tank has worked since I got the truck so I plumbed the good tank straight into the hard line. Also I’m going to replace the rubber hose with new and add a filter between the tank and pump.- Lu Blunt

Ran a hose from the fuel pump to a gas can and cranked n cranked n cranked then it finally started and drove the short trip home. I’ll inspect the fuel line to the tank and check the fuel pick up in the tank. Been planning a big block swap with an efi tank maybe it’s the time to start- Lu Blunt

I’m headed back down to the truck this morning. I’ll bring a gas can and rubber fuel hose and plumb the pump straight into the gas can. If that doesn’t work I’ll double check the new fuel pump- Lu Blunt

I’ve been driving my 79’ Chevy k30 350sbc without any engine trouble the last 5 years. When I first got the truck I swapped a Holley carb in place of the leaky quadrajet. Today the truck seemed to sputter on n off at anything above 3k rpm. It kept getting worse till the truck wouldn’t run at all...- Lu Blunt

79 k30 steering rebuild
I grazed a dodge with my bumper... not even close to hitting the tires. Dented the fender alittle and broke the headlight bezel. I took the front clip apart to swap fenders n core supports and did not find anymore damage. The death wobble when braking has been a thing before that happened. After...- Lu Blunt

79 k30 steering rebuild
Finally got the clutch fixed. Mean while the death wobble when braking slowly came back. I decided the front rotors were warping due to no rear brakes. I had the rear drums rebuilt and that made it stop alot better. I ordered new rotors and calipers, severe duty pads and braided brake lines from...- Lu Blunt

Finished the radiator support swap and got a new old fender for the passenger side. Definitely need the radiator support and grille to bumper filler that came with the headlights you want. The bumper filler doesn’t have provisions to mount the parking lights because the bezel holds the parking... -
