Answering questions is why I am here. But yes, I did nothing but run the wire to the gray fuel pump wire, left everything else in tact.

thanks man, its been a fun build. Make sure you get the MSD box and not the edelbrock box for your carb setup. It is so easy to run.

Thanks Zone, i'm going to try it around 2pm today and see if it works. I realized I have to get a smaller belt now because I used my old alternator. Hopefully I can find that today.

Used a stock belt with my stock alternator. The tensioner took the slack fine.

If your using the stock in tank pump just leave all the relays and stuff alone. Adapt the oil pressure gauge sender. Get a holley regulator use the lower port as the inlet from the stock pump. Route one of the side ports to the carb and route the other to the return line. The trick is to put a restriction in the return side and drill a 1/16" hole in it to limit the amount of fuel returning to cool the pump and bleed of pressure. Then just set with a pressure guage to 6.5 PSI.

I got my stock belt to work, was looking at it the wrong way. I have a holley billet fuel pressure regulator with a return line that I am using. I drove the truck this morning, I got about a mile before the temp got up to around 220F. Either the thermostat is stuck or my radiator lines are crossed. I used my stock 1994 radiator. I am on a 24hr shift today so tomorrow I will give it another shot.

Make sure the block has coolant in it. I had that happen to me before. I am sure you already know that. Just a thought. Nice swap and goodluck with it.

I looked at some set ups today and realized i crossed the radiator lines, easy fix. I will try to fix that tomorrow. Man what a different feeling it is driving a vehicle with a mild stall converter. I can't wait to fix the bugs and get my SLP Loudmouth II's welded up.

You fill the block through the water pump? That's how I do it.

I just filled the radiator up and continued to top it off over an hour while gravity moved it in a bit. Is that not sufficient enough?

So I got the heating problem taken care of. I took it for a drive and anything above 3200 rpm it misses and pops. I checked and have power to every spark plug and am not losing fuel pressure, it stays at 7 1/2 psi. What else am I missing?

ZONES89RS

Should be 6.5. How does the carb look? New? Used?

RabidStreetRacer

iTrader: (1)

The carb is a used 4160 style 750cfm vacuum secondary that I sent out and had completly rebuilt and converted to a 4150 style carb. They tuned it according to all the specs I had on my truck. I pulled two plugs and noticed that it is very rich, so it must be flooding the engine over 3200 rpm. tomorrow I will lower the PSI on the carb to 6 and try it again.

That looks like a fat idle mixture.

RabidStreetRacer

iTrader: (1)

I reduced the idle till it almost stalled and still had a studder at 3200 rpm's

ZONES89RS

Idle mixture not set idle screw. Anyway, you have a wide band o2 setup? Will severly help tuning.

RabidStreetRacer

iTrader: (1)

I am going to mess with it probably tomorrow and try and lean out the idle mixture. I don't have a wide band yet but have been in the market for one. I plan on taking it to a dyno shop in the next month or so to get it dyno tuned.

ZONES89RS

Wide band will help you figure out what is going on with the breaking up.

I messed with the carb a bit today and noticed my accelerator pump is very stiff, I took the bottom off and everything is in its place and the spring is fine. I think the port might be clogged up. I am going to try and pull it all apart tomorrow or tuesday and figure it out.

How do you get the O2 to work on a carbed setup with a MSD 6010? Where do I get the parts?
