Been a while since I had an update, but it's not that things aren't getting done. I've mounted the ignition box in the location of the stock ecm. Put in a couple Auto Meter gauges to replace the parts store cheapies that I have been using but don't trust. As you can see I've mounted my intake, carb, and regulator. I've redone the fuel line and will need to figure out which filter will work best since I've gotten rid of the o-ring style fittings GM was famous for using around this time. Should be ready to fire up shortly.
Ended up with just a generic fuel filter with 3/8 hose nipples on the ends. Had to drop the tank again and replace the sending unit because the metal return line was leaking. Fixed a bad connection on the starter and got it fired up and driving. I have a leak where the oil pressure sensor is, that will need fixed before I do any driving with it, and of course I should hook up the rest of the exhaust, but this is a very exciting moment. Better quality video is on the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9vsqcLa74M
Ok so the truck has been running for about a month now, but I've finally got around to making a short sound video. Muffler has been ordered, for now it's straight piped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y63hGgP4A3c
