82 C10 EFI Conversion project

Made a little more progress.

Front fuel lines are roughed in. Wound up running a new 3/8" return line with a flare fitting.

Needed to do a little minor trimming on the valve covers to clear the alternator. But everything fits up pretty good. Alternator is a little closer than I would like to the driver side manifold, will see what I can do to shield some of the heat as I suspect it might get pretty toasty in this space.

Now I need to scout for a trans jack I can borrow to roll the trans into position and get the motor dropped in.

Had a feeling this project was going too smooth.



2 of these (15 year old) mcguard wheel locks stripped/cammed out on me. Chiseling them off was no Bueno. They have the hardness of used chewing gum, so will try my luck with an "emergency removal socket" deal to try and break them free. Worst case I can weld the "key" to the worst one and try to get it off that way, since there are two I am kind of in a precarious spot. Sigh....
