    Not worried about emissions we don't have any local. Would it be easier to put the newer fuel tank and lines to the old one or retrofit it with a walboro. I appreciate your responses!

    I think you have the same stock fuel setup that I do with my 88 Blazer (TBI - right - Throttle body fuel injection?) If so, then you have the tank with a baffle, the metal lines with a fuel return, and for the most part, you have the majority of the parts to convert. If your donor motor has one fuel rail on it, then you have a single fuel line and it will require a Corvette regulator (PN WIX-33737) to be installed along the frame. Waloro makes an aftermarket pump that should drop right into your truck's original fuel sending kit. Here is a good in-tank fuel pump (PN 255LPH GM Walbro Alternative Fuel Pump w/ Venturi Tube). Don't mess with external fuel pumps. It seems easier, but they suck.

    Here is a link that has some decent info and pictures of a similar fuel system that you will need to build. The AN flexible lines are optional, but that is what this builder chose to use: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=349201

    Hope this helps a bit.

    Grab the throttle cable as yours is too short if I remember correctly. I am hanging on to mine from my 98 in case I do this again in an older obs.
