    76 C20 454 harness mess

    Trying to simplify things with the harness. One thing i'm confused about is in the pics. That relay went to the accessory battery but why does that brown wire (which goes through the firewall and attaches to the pedal sensor along with the orange wire and then to the fuse panel) also connect...

    76 C20 454 harness mess

    Just got the truck home and started to dig into the hectic wiring situation. My electrical knowledge is admittedly pretty weak so I am learning as I go. So a little background on the truck. At some point there was a second battery installed (unless some models came with two) along with...

    4-53T conversion 76 C20 2wd

    I think it would be pretty badass too. Also, if I could pull off a manual swap along with it that would make it even better. The power those motors make with minor improvements seem to be sufficient for what I would use it for (to haul a race car trailer and a camper). I have daily driven a 95...

I would like to enjoy the gasser for a short time while funds are being set aside for the swap. I have...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    Just an update. I ended up not even using the new fuel line I ordered from inline tube. Instead I just took out the electronic fuel pump and put rubber fuel hose in its place. I got the edelbrock carb, new mechanical fuel pump , filter , drained the tank , and the truck fired right up without...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    So I am starting to order parts for this conversion. Just ordered main fuel (3/8 inch) and return (1/4 inch) pre-bent stock replacement lines from inline tube. One thing I am wondering about is what connects to the fuel pump ports. The replacement mechanical fuel pumps I can find...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    Thanks for the replies guys. So of the two main choices I could either keep the line with the electric fuel pump and just add a regulator in series correct? Or I could replace that electric fuel pump and line with stock line and run a mechanical fuel pump and extra line going from pump to carb...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    Just bought my first square body. Its a 1976 C20 burb 454. Its a beautiful truck with extremely little body and frame rust. The previous owner did a tbi conversion. Long story short the truck does not like to idle, wants to bog down when given above 50% throttle, and seems to be running...
