[87OldYeller]

Made some progress. Got the wires hooked up and she busted right off. Still will not run for more than about 2 seconds though the alternator is bad, But toss another one on there and it should be all good. But it is good to hear it run.

[flattopwill]

AWESOME! Are all the body panels back on it?

[87OldYeller]

oh yea.. though I posted some pictures.. But i will look and see if not i will.

[Venom]

hey so its running! awesome! so how did u do the fuel lines at the tank?

[87OldYeller]

I just used regular stainless steel clamps. got to thinking about it and someone said the pressure would not hold but the pump is installed to the sending unit with a hose clamps so why would it not work then? but i have had no problem with it at all.

just 10 ft' of line is a lot extra for each side but nice cause I can leave me tank on the ground and still have the lines hooked up. But I am going to trim them up and install the Summit fuel filter I ordered. Hope to pick up an alternator this weekend and then I have to finish a lot of small stuff. I also have to get a throttle cable, and the exhaust work done, it is a little loud with straight manifolds. But my Engine/transmission came out of an 02 suburban I had no problem getting the stock manifolds to fit they clear the frame really well. But I also have to hook up the transmission lines going to flare the line and adapt it down to my 1987 radiator. It looks like the power steering lines will interchange. I did have some problems tiring to find a booted seal for a 4L60E as that is what seems to be what is on the tail of the transmission. So I guess I will go with a regular non-booted seal. I also have to configure a way to attach the shift rod for the column shifter to the set up on the 4l60E might just try to get and adapter of some sort made. Or look see how the linkage is off of the 2002 truck.
