If I told you that i built an isolator from some old mechanical fuel pumps, would you have to see it?
Confidence in my work is high, inspite of my condition.

Anybody notice the little green Army man? The safety pin? The cell phone head set?

I hope that isn't a platic Army man! It may melt or discolor in 50 years being there!

FWIW wood blocks have been used for holding/raising utility body beds and other beds for as long as time. Granted they are 4x4 or 4x6's, but the ones that have been holding my bed up for 13-14 years are still solid as can be. And even with all the plowing up here in the salt belt, they havn't even started to rust yet! Older truck beds used to be made of teac. Boats have plenty of wood on them too, if not made of wood, and they are exposed to a little moisture I would think

Now if you used Bamboo for fuel line I could see the concern!):h

Thanx, BJ & Matt.
I may have sounded defensive, but we're all good.

BTW, Matt, How're the twins, (WALBRO's) still happy?

The fuel needle bounce can be elimintated using a snubber and a 30" whip ex for the sending unit. it's a common problem on Dodges , in fact Autometer will not warranty the guage unless you buy thier snubber as well.

 

[dangerousdave]

Does that mean I extend the hose from gauge to meter with a 30" section?

Plus a snubber? not like the ones for plumbing, right? They seem to be a small orifice in a coupler.

I gotta think about how I did it...I'll see if I still have pics. I don't have the truck anymore.

 

[dangerousdave]

No sweat; IIRC, an old gauge i took apart had about a 0.5mm orifice, it never wavered much. I shoulda got the liquid filled one!

My electric stewart warner is pretty steady. It also reads off of about a 18" hose from the T before the IP. Great gauge for the 85bux or so it cost.
