5.7 diesel up and running

Thanks jay.I’ll definitely look into that and give it a go.Yesterday on eBay I came across a new elastomer insert drive governor cage which does away with the flex ring along with a o-ring/seal kit.I have a new old stock 3271 pencil injector pump that doesn’t have much use on it.It has no E tag on one of the governor screws like my current pump does so I want to take it apart and get rid of the flex ring altogether and set it aside for when I do need it.I also bought the updated idle spring kit that I’ve used on other pumps in the past.

Today I made a stab at replacing the old fuel tank sending unit in favor of a updated version with the water in fuel sensor.The old fuel line hoses are gone now.I got rid of all that along the chassis.Tomorrow I hope to install the new hoses and get the water in fuel wiring started.The old sending unit has a paint gun screen upon it that my father installed many years ago.
