Got a new Truck (new to me)

OK, fired it up today with the gas in the carb bowls, fired right up, carb had gas and timing was set right to run. No funny sounds, no ticking.

So it was on to the next step > set up the manual fuel pump, steel line to steel filter, and continue on up to feed the carb.

Need to do a temp fuel source so the manual pump can draw it in. Then I can run it for a minute.

Then on to plumbing the fuel source.

Looking like I am going to be able to take out the electric in the tank fuel pump, and put a pass through draw tube and pre-filter in its place, keeping the original gas tank and fuel gauge too.

Pretty nice, there is a 5/16" feed line from the fuel tank that dumps right at the base of the fuel pump, so that much of it should be easy.

Have some comments coming up about the TBI wiring harness and what needs to be done to make everything in the cab work, being that the engine, ignition and fuel source is now all on its own, (no needed engine management computer for the engine to run). I like that.....
