    what did u use for your fuel system??

  2. #52
    I went with a 87 tbi sending unit and acdelco fuelpump in my stock tank. This will work but i think that on hard stops and starts im loosing fuel pressure. The remedy is a 87 + fuel tank , cause i believe they came with baffles in them. Im also just running one tank instead of duel tanks. This was a cost saver during the initial install. i hope that helped you out.

    Ok, forgive my ignorance but what is a steam tube? I've been wondering what I'm gonna have to do w/that but haven't gotten that far w/mine but since we're on the subject....
