Hey, PsRumors!!! Is there any chance you can grind (as in with a Dremel or similar) a bit of relief on the driver's side of that pedestal to allow a fuel line to go under it? I did that to my truck, when I replumbed it in the valley. I used JIC/AN 37 deg. stuff instead of the Vibra-Lok, but...

Guilty as charged, Clive! How've ya been? Yes, but.... I use a "modified" stock float sending unit. I really wish I knew where I put the pics of my modded float/sender deal. I can't find them, for whatever reason.... :confused: At one time, I had big plans for my truck that were gonna...

I've got the 33 gallon Bronco tank (from Bronco Graveyard) on my truck. Like it really well. It greatly simplified my fuel system re-plumb. I fabbed a bracket kinda deal to hold my spare in the truck bed. The old spare was a miserable thing to get out from under the truck once with a flat rear...

Unless you plan on going with a really big injectors/agressive chip/bigger HPOP, those stock lines will flow enough for most needs. I believe the openings in the 1/8" NPT fittings are the smallets openings the fuel has to squeeze through on it's journey, so those points would be the...

Hey, PsRumors!! Are you talking about the little factory 1/8 NPT/vibra-lock brass fittings at the rear of each head? On my '97, I didn't have to cut mine; I simply unthreaded them. They cleared the uppipes or dp; whichever it is on the pass. side it gets close to. I replaced the passenger side...

Geez, I apologize, Fellas! :lookaround: If I'd have known there were others needin' those things, I'd have ordered 50 of the things, and in different sizes..... Wish I'd known..... I actually wish I'd gotten about double what I ordered for my selfish self. My glow plug relay needs some, as does...

I'd be that guy, Dave!!! Who else could screw up something so simple? LOL How've you been? What motor are you using that's makin' all them horsepowers? I kinda wondered if "Old Man Dave" & his 400+ponies PSD is the one I know.... I've been doing some Old Guy motocross racing with my Old Guy...

I'm not certain what the proper "technical" name is for those buttons, but I think they're normally soldered to that stamped steel ring that goes around the bottom of the stock fuel bowl (which is the heater itself....), and just kinda serve to "space" the heater up off the bottom of the bowl. I...

Ask around (like you just did :D ) about the flaring tools for stainless. The one that you posted above (KD brand, I think?) will not work for flaring stainless, and like has been said, is the wrong angle anyway. Reading reviews & such is one way of finding out about a tool's usefulness for...

I'm not sure.... That's a good idea, though..... I've decided I'm just gonna buy another pump like it, to get the truck back on the road as soon as possible. After that, I'll contact Carter, and see if maybe they can fix it. Hopefully, I'll have a spare that I can shove behind the back...

Major Stupid move today..... I removed the positive wire from my Carter electric fuel pump today, to do a little weatherproofing to the wire & terminal. I figured since those terminals are exposed to the elements, I should put some heat shrink on the ring terminal, and I'd eventually like to...

Well, I got it runnin'!!! :redspotdance: So far, after sitting & idling for 20 minutes, then a 6-7 mile test ride, and then 5 minutes more idling in the driveway, I've found no leaks! :joy: The truck idles noticeably smoother now, which is really nice. :thumbsup: Hopefully, it'll continue...

Thanks, Tom. I originally had really big plans & ideas for my truck, like an intercooler, bigger injectors, chip/tuner, & such. I began laying down the foundation, then the green '97 5-speed I had got hit & totalled out. I bought that truck from the insurance co., and yanked some parts off it...

Yeah, Thank You VERY MUCHO, Tom S!!!! :whs: Under a sliding plastic cover, on the extreme end of the under hood fuse box nearest the driver's side fender, is a 13mm flanged locknut on a bolt/stud type of affair. Sliding that cover up, and pulling it off, it's easy to get to that locknut...

Thanks, Tom!! I saw that terminal you speak of when I was "dissecting" my fuse box this afternoon.... I can probably just put a ring terminal on a 12 g. wire, and slip it over that stud, huh? I had a really long reponse written to explain why I've done what I've done to my fuel system. And...

What are the options for a a good clean power source for the wire from the pump to the relay? I'm using a Painless Performance fuel pump wiring/relay kit for mine. But I'm stumped on how to get power from the battery to the relay..... Jimmie
