Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!

Yes! The beast lives again! My partner from work came down this afternoon to help me with the fuel pump and etc. We got the pump on and tried to get it started, but no go. It would run when we filled the carb bowl with fuel, but then die. This guy knows his chevy motors! He runs a camero drag racer down at the motorplex every weekend, and he wasen't leaving till it was sitting there idiling! Figured out all the rubber fuel lines were cracked, and sucking air, so the fuel pump would not pull fuel from the tank. Changed some rubber lines around and yea, she fired right up! Drove it up to my bud's garage and dropped off his tube bender I had borrowed to bend the hard lines to the fuel pump, sweet! Kid's were loving it! Step number 1!
