Re: '72 gmc

Finally started her up today. Aside from a fuel line leak from a hand tightened fitting near the tank, she ran perfect.

I took a short video, but I dont know how to post links.....

Im running my Dakota Digital gauges off the computer, and you have to disconnect the ecm while you oil prime your engine off the starter so we werent 100% sure we had oil pressure. When we finally started it, the gauges read zero pressure. There was a moment of stress until I realized I had to program the gauges to look at the ecm for gauge readings. As soon as I did that, pressure popped up to 40 and the tach started reading. It was an awesome feeling.

It wasnt all perfect however, I have to pull the t-56 and reshim the slave. The clutch wasnt fully disengaging.
