    I had to create collages with those photos to get them to load on here. They were sent to me from an I Phone and I have an Android. Apologies for the quality, I wish I could put the pictures directly in.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I ended up getting the Standard Ignition TBI rebuild kit for the truck and got my Nephew to come by and help out. He needs the real time experience while he is working his way to a full time diesel mechanic. Currently he rebuilds Huskvarna equipment. We got it disassembled, and cleaned up the...

    Update: fuel pressure test was a bust. I had my Uncle in law over to assist. I could not get the TBI test fitment I ordered to thread on to the flex line. This was attempted as the service manual called for: between filter and flex line, in line. I was not expecting that. Regardless, we sat and...

    Good looks Lee, I won't use tar paper. Most likely I will buy an anti squeak kit. I don't want to sell my tools! Lol.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I am brainstorming on a material to use instead of an "anti squeak kit" that cost $30. Probably going to try and source some tar paper from my father in law.

    I still have not purchased new brackets, straps, or anti squeak because of the price, as you mentioned @Grit dog , for the brackets. I am still on the fence about buying new or restoring old. I think you just talked me in to grinding down the old brackets clean and painting to save money.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I get ahead of myself. I am stockpiling to start a project that to me will improve the life of the truck. Yes it's true, I really don't know the exact problem but I assume, guilty. One of the first big projects I thought needed to be re-done was gas tanks but always was intimidated by the job...

    My wife and I just watched Groundhog Day with our kids for the first time tonight. Such an awesome movie. I think I saw it with my Mom and Dad at least 3 times in the theater when it came out.

    @TotalyHucked Zach, do you recommend AMD brackets, straps, and anti squeak kits? I want to support our passion through the community. It looks like AMD has all the remaining peices to my puzzle. Give me some insight.

    Walked past it a couple times and stared at it, then ordered a Walbro fuel pump. JEGS first e mail said my GM TBI adaptor has shipped and arrival would be today, I thought to myself: "That's f***** fast!", then I clicked the track package icon and Fed Ex doesn't even have it yet. Rain all day...

    I found an OEM TBI adaptor at JEGS for $16.99! Woohoo! Shipping is $16.99 Doh! Should I just order it?

    I also found a couple of GM specific adaptor valves that you hook up in line and you pop a pressure guage right on to the side. Too bad both of them are nearly $50!! They cost more than some of pressure test kits!

    Yes I also found Actron stuff discoed.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yes I was thinking I would be able to hook up one like I saw in a video. The guy used an OTC kit that had a specific Schrader T style valve specific for GM TBI as it listed on the OTC kit contents. I'm looking in to the Actron brand test port that @gmbellew mentioned.

    Like @Ricko1966 mentioned.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    There are many different Schrader valves but none are a direct fit to the fuel pump. I think I can pull off a test with a T fitting, some clamps and hose from this kit.

    I think I can rig that up from this kit actually.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Something makes me think this could be it. This video randomly popped in to my Y Toob feed and it seems likely what my truck has going on. It's just a guy talking but what he shows you is what I will be looking for when I finally do swap out tank and fuel...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Bought a fuel filter to see which attachments I could use on the truck with the pressure tester guage I borrowed: a Betooll 0-140 psi kit. Nothing fits GM TBI from it. Does anyone have an affordable, or reliable definite go to kit they recommend that has an attachment to test GM TBI?
