NAPA carries them too. Just picked up a set and installed them on my 1987 GMC V2500 last night. Could have gotten them for less...but I didn't want to wait days for them to show up.

Hard starting and low power on an '82. I bet all the rubber fuel line connections are still original aren't they? they are allowing air to get sucked in...makes it a bear to start, idles rough but smothes out at higher RPMS, not much power. Mine got progressively worse over the years (like...

Ok, been meaning to update this the last couple nights. Got the new electric pump in, the one that is 4-7 psi instead of 9-14 psi. And as AK diesel driver guessed. The problem went away, so it was the excessive pressure doing it. Many thanks. Saved me a lot of worrying and probibly...

I just ordered a new lower pressure pump last night (4-6 psi pump) It should be here Thursday or Friday and I've got a lot of other stuff to do before then so don't have time to see what it actually measures at, but I can assume its way too high now if the current one puts anything near what its...

I was raining here tonight, so I couldn't dink around with it. I'll see if I can check that out tommorrow after work and see if I'm not just delivering it too much fuel pressure.

Dang post locked while editing.... No surging at idle....save for the occasional random misfire it would be a smooth idle. Engine never dies...not yet anyway. Entire truck only has 74,000 and some miles on it....I'm the second owner, Mileage verified as actual and true before I bought it...

Nope...never does it any other time.....only at higher speeds (over 50) if you suddenly take your foot off the go pedal. There really isn't the same level of "engine braking" (for lack of a better term) at slower speeds Its not a whip your head back and forth type surge, but one you notice...

No idea what the fuel pressure is under the hood. The electric pump is rated at 9-14 psi back by the 6 port valve. I've got to figure out where to tap into a line to measure it up under the hood. Filter is only a few weeks old, and runs really well, EGT's are in check (yes I have one since I...

Here's my question, been searching for days without finding anything similar. Truck starts and runs well, fairly decent idle occasional hiccup, no smoke. this started after sorting out an air infiltration issue with rubber hoses and old fuel filter. At least I started noticing it then. Runs...
