    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? Maybe…..

    Dang I didn't think of throwing some fuses in the box too. I have several. I don't have any holders though. I used the same type fuel line and brass tees on mine too. My ocd brain had to use zip ties on them though. Some things I can't change! Those brass well nuts are nice. I used a coat hanger...

    M1009 tailgate latches

    Do you have the rubber seal on the tailgate that keeps it tight? They wiggle a ton if you don't. I buy used tailgates whenever I can. Might be the way to go, take the parts out of it. Ebay has some. Really though of the gate is bouncing around new parts won't help. I have nos gm strikers if you...

    mep803a fuel pump not clicking

    If you dig through that thread it does end up with the one you got. It is 5.5 to 9 psi at 35 gph. It is 24 volt too. At 62$ I think i'd look for a real airtex one.

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? Maybe…..

    That's really nice stuff to have!! Doesn't look like anything was marked up either. 2 things I noticed, now that I am on my laptop that I couldn't see with my phone is, the fuel filter has been changed so you shouldn't need a 6 foot pry bar to get it off. The main fuel pump isn't the square...

    mep803a fuel pump not clicking

    Here's a pretty good thread on finding a pump. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-803a-airtex-fuel-pump-substitution.171560/

    mep803a fuel pump not clicking

    You can put a dvom on the connections for the fuel pump and see if any power is getting there. The old hit it with a hammer and see if the regular ticking noise returns is a good way too. I've found many problems with a light tap on things in the past. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? Maybe…..

    Glad it got home. Looks really nice! I know this would be last on the list probably but my fuel cap looked like that too. I put the entire assembly in my electrolysis tank for a day and it took all that rust out. Cleaned the filler neck up inside nice. I thought about bead blasting it but that...

    Need Help Diagnosing Fuel Delivery Issue

    Does that governor sleeve even move?? That is very rusted shut. It would make sense why it shuts off now.

    It needs repairs since it needs batteries!!

    Need Help Diagnosing Fuel Delivery Issue

    The clear line shows bubbles and very nice to have the knowledge that it has air in the fuel or not. No guessing. You do need to crack every line a bit to get the air out. If you can get it running and have someone hold the throttle up some and crack each one quick it won't take long.

    Not at all. The other 7 would need cracked if you wanted to get all the air out. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Another alternator question

    Sounds like you have a gen 1 issue. If you unplug the 2 pin connector on it with the key on it should have battery voltage on both wires. 15.5 is a good bit higher than normal. Test what the actual voltage is on gen 1 when running. Guess on a bad voltage regulator in it. Sent from my SM-S906U...
