Fuel pressure gauge was aftermarket and so was the fuel filter under the hood. I installed them to trouble shoot my fuel delivery problem with resulted in me replacing the fuel pump. I installed the filter so I could visually see fuel flowing. They served their purpose and will be eliminated now. When I put it back together I will use swagelok fittings and ss line going from the existing fuel line to the carb.
No it really isn't that bad. It could have been so much worse. If I can get a definitive answer to a standard deck BBC distributor working on a tall deck motor I'll buy one asap. There's tons of mixed information out there. I would like to get it running again before the weather gets too cold again. It's a little disheartening to see in the shape it's in because of the amount of work I've done to it and just how well it was running just before this happened. I do have to be thankful that it went up in flames in my driveway though. 3 minutes up the road and I would have never been able to get to a fire extinguisher and back fast enough and the truck would be a complete and total loss.
