Re: Found myself a 72 Jimmy!
This weekend I had new tires mounted, the old ones was at least 20 years old. I kind of like these Yokohama 31" tires. And the ride is great.
Earlier in the week I had my mechanic to through the engine, transmission and the driveshafts. He found nothing major and did just an service. The fuel pump was leaking through the air vent so it got replaced.
Went out for a back country ride when I suddenly smelled a strong odor of gas. The new fuel pump was squirting gas through the seam that goes through the middle of the pump.
Managed to call a friend and get home. An hour later I had a new fuel pump installed (first time I've done it, thank God for YouTube)... It's a $20 O'Reilly pump, I think it's an ac Delco. So far so good.
Any particular brands you guys recommend for mechanical fuel pump? I would love something really reliable, I'm scared of the made in China quality of the action Delco I just put in.... It's the same brand that broke after 1 hour of driving.
Also put in a new battery, the old one was going bad.
