engine bay clean out

[uberkevin]

Glad to hear man!

[datson4life]

so you will have it at the meet this Friday?

if i can figure out issue and have it on the ground yes, its leaking gas out of original fuel lines, the old clamps dont hold

[datson4life]

but im hoping i can make it

[EastBay521]

you can do it!!! I believe in you!

[datson4life]

Haha thank u eastbay521

U 521 fellas know what would be a good fuel return line? I used the old smog canister lines and i think its not working too well and causing too much resistance

Did u keep the smog canister? I jumped the lines right before it

I connected to the line after I bent it up close to the master brake cylinder, as I have dual SUs, then where it is supposed to connect into the vacuum separator inside the cover in front of the driverside rear fender well, I connected a longer hose that went straight to the fitting on the top front of the tank.

You can see the two hoses that are on the left side of this photo below, the far left hose comes off the fuel pressure regulator and is connected to that vapor emissions line that goes to that separator system in the box.

whatever the line that leads to the small black tank inside driver side fender in the truck's bed, i used the lines off of that, but i ditched the tank and put lines together right under it cause it leads to top of fuel tank

I disconnected all of smog crap and ran the return line to that return vent,works like a champ.

It can do that, but it will not spin full speed, just a little bit of spin, and if you pull the e-brake on it will not spin at all.

What's not normal is trying to drive your truck on jack stands.hahahahahahahaha
