    Fuel line

    Maybe i can get a better pic this weekend, but my return line goes all the way back to the tank; Maybe you can see in the pics that it goes behind the alternator and if you look to the left of the alternator near the framerail you might see it reappear again.

    Fuel line

    I'm not aware of a return outlet that runs out of the carb/(a quadrajet)? Really, the way i have it arranged is all due to what pieces i had on hand at the time---i needed the truck running ASAP, and i wanted the filter to lay flat horizontally. And that's the best i could come up with for...

    Fuel line

    Forgot to mention that the return line keeps the fuel circulating which keeps the fuel cooler.

    Fuel line

    Sorry for the slow reply; Been working a lot---been tired a lot. i was having similar problems----in hot weather traffic jams i would stall when accelerating. The engine would start back up, but it would stall out again and i would have to repeat this a few times before i could drive away...

    Fuel line

    Sorry for the slow reply---very busy; Will respond in detail, with a solution that could likely work for you when there is time---maybe this weekend. You're almost there.

    Overflow tank hose size?

    Radiator overflow tank hose size? i'm ASSuming 73-91 was the same? But to be specific, for 83 model year and small block. Note this is the smaller hose running from the radiator cap to the overflow tank, NOT the hose running from the thermostat to the radiator or from the radiator to the water...

    Is it harmful to drive in "2" for long periods of time?

    First, i want to say that i want to, and believe in, doing things the right way and not 1/2 assing things. 1) Background info: a) Truck is: 1/2 ton 2wd, 4.3 v-6, TH-350, 2.56 rear diff (i know, TOTALLY wrong for towing and we'll get into that) b) i want to tow no more than 5300 lbs. (open 14'...

    Aftermarket EFI

    Sorry to hijack the thread (although my question probably still DOES somewhat apply to the original question), but Which engine, the crate 357 or the 383HT, do you think would be faster in the 1/4 in say, a chevette? The 357 has a little more hp, but but less torque. It seems to be more of a...

    Q-Jet Choke housing re-install keeps binding up?

    Is the carb original to the truck or engine, or is it a remanned atrocity?

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    The stock covers don't have baffles? i've had these off, but don't remember......... The homebrew breather does not appear to be oily or have any oil on it. Yes, that is the stock, correct position for the oil hole on 85-87 v-6 trucks. See pic below as to why.......... The only way the...

    Manuel Choke or Electric Choke and Why?

    Any style can work well. i prefer electric because i think it's the simplest. However, i've had heat stove and manual and they all can and do work well. i think the biggest thing about manual is finding a cable that works and doesn't bind. Actually, you are in Texas, so why do you even...

    Carb to Holley Sniper EFI?

    Regarding Holley vs. Edelbrock etc.: At this point, i would be more likely to lean towards brock. Based on my previous experiences, i think brock generally makes good products. But i noticed, even on the instructional/sales videos Edelbrock tends to go into way more detail than Holley...

    Carb to Holley Sniper EFI?

    This is unfortunate----how so many are having problems with fuel injection kits and how they still don't seem to be hitch-free/bolt on at this point. (The possible exception MIGHT be Howell, but even them...........) Looks like i will STILL be sticking with carbs for a while. EVERY carb...

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    Oops! i took those pics off the web just for examples. My setup is: As you can see, somehow there is oil leaking onto the valve cover. Now this COULD be because the grommet just needs to be replaced. --OR it could be due to me using other methods such as tin foil or a rag to cover the...

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    i believe #3989350 is correct for pcv, but for oil fill hole, i think #3982983 or #10108402 is the one for the oil hole.

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    This stupid problem has really been bugging me and taking WAY too much time and i wanted to get to the bottom of it once and for all. If it was a few drops leaking, i wouldn't care, but this is too much. So i took my old grommet out and measured the hole with some calipers. The grommet...

    Needs some part #'s :

    These are the 87 and up centerbolt valve covers. i'm ASSuming v-8 SBC is the same as 4.3 v-6 (i have the v-6). 1) The oil hole grommet AND a cap that will fit into that grommet are the most important now. 2) The hole that would normally have a hose coming out of it and going into the air...
