    New Walbro lift pump 16.5 psi & 50 GPH

    I went with the stock location. I took a piece of threaded rod (10-24 or 1/4) and made a ubolt. I put in two 1/2" rod couplings as spacers to hold the pump above the stock lines. Snugged it all down on some washers. I will try to take pictures, but it is a crazy day/week. Probably $8 in parts at...

    New Walbro lift pump 16.5 psi & 50 GPH

    *cough* but we just met! :) Let's see I just put in a new fuel sender from Napa... so it should be... about 3 months before it reads weird? :) Thanks for the info. I will pick up that base and some fuel line... sounds like 30 microns is the ticket.

    New Walbro lift pump 16.5 psi & 50 GPH

    So the napa 4770 is the wix base? 1-14 thread, 1/2" fittings. then I go 10 micron filter. I put this before the pump correct? Then I can eliminate the sock in the tank if and when I need to in the future, correct?

    New Walbro lift pump 16.5 psi & 50 GPH

    I got mine in the mail today. Looks great. It is a monsoon here and I am working through the weekend, so not sure if I will get a chance to pull her in the shop and put it on. MaybeFriday night after the kid goes to bed. I am looking at alternate filter systems to add in here. Doing some...

    Burbanitis A momentary lapse of sanity

    I bought a 78 mustang that had spent its whole life on the beach when I was in high school (so it was 12 years old). No rust. I bet it was clean. Man... would have, should have, could have!

    Cheap Good Sounding Replacement Speakers

    What did you go with? I just bought a pair of the sony 4-ways from walmart. They didnt have speakers for the 4x10 spot in the rear. I have always liked the tight sound of sony. Pioneer is... warmer? rounder? I am trying to figure out how to pull the front door trim now.

    Burbanitis A momentary lapse of sanity

    I almost bid on it. I tried to talk a friend into it. I have the bug. I scan craigslist constantly. I want a tahoe for the right price... and I would give home to another burb 4x4, preferably 3.43/1500. Oh, I would love to have a 1500 as well. :)

    Cooling system upgrade for 95 burb

    thermostat is a new ac delco 195 put in this year, so I figured to reuse it. It is working great. I think I can spring the extra 60 bucks for a new pump. Anyone have opinions on brand of water pump? I will likely do this late this spring, as I have a few other things going in soon... shocks...

    Shocks Opinions

    I just ordered the gas magnums to try on my burb. I am a concrete queer I guess! :) The price point got me, as I am doing alot of other upgrades and I do not tow much and mainly just do daily driving on the road. I am hoping to get a year or two out of these and then reevaluate. Oh... $115...

    continuity but no voltage on left turn pole

    I dont think so. I checked the voltage on the truck side using the ground pin in the receiver, so it should be the same ground. I will double check the ground... but right turn works. It pulses voltage off the same ground, and everything else shows the correct voltage. That would leave...
