    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    I've done a 350 Chevy, but it's been like 40 years ago. I intend to watch a video on this one before I attempt it. I hope not to do anything stupid. Your input helps in this. I'd like to not remove that second plate if I can help it. I'm thinking maybe a flexible piece of plastic to hold the...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    That's where I'm at. $40 and it isn't like a new lift pump is a bad thing. It doesn't look hard to reach. I generally dislike diagnosis by throwing parts at it, but I've looked at every thing else. I'll update this when the new one is on. Thanks everyone who contributed.

    looking for real on road weight specs for a m1102 trailer ?

    In real-world conditions you're going to hit the limit on the tires first. I took one behind my pickup, loaded with as many 395's on steel MRAP rims as I could get in it across TX at 80mph without issue.

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Ok, looking at the lines coming out of the tank. I've got two soft lines between the hard lines coming out of the tank and the hard lines going forward. This is where I'd expect the check valves to be. Looks to me like someone already deleted them. Am i correct? The larger one shows some...

    M35a2 electrical gremlin

    Hydraulic crimper. Accept no substitute. How long does the cable need to be? I may have something suitable. Yours if so.
