Thats two of us !!!!!!!!!!!! After the needed body work gets done, I may just be crazy enough to try painting it myself this summer.

67chevy1series · 03-10-2011, 07:07 PM

i think i am going to be doing the same thing!

jrdv · 03-14-2011, 12:15 AM

Just curious about the Fast EFI. Have you driven it yet?
It may be a little early, but would you recomend it!
I've been wanting one and just can't bite the bullet. I would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks

John

**SOON2BLAZE** · 03-14-2011, 08:01 AM

Well so for things I like about the fast ez efi are : start up/ idle when cold and throttle response. the quadrajet I had would want to idle at 1900 rpm when cold for a few miles. This starts right up, idles at 800-900 rpm.
Things I dont like: gas smell stinks up the garage to the point my wife wants it parked outside. I think this is due to the pressurized return line, and the fancy hoses the fuel kit comes with ( I swear I can smell fuel through them)
No idea on mileage yet but ( go ahead and call me a Liar) 15.5mpg with the quadrajet combined city/highway driving with an egg on the gas pedal. guessing not much better ( was hoping for 20 +) will know more next week when I fill up again.

I called and talked to a FAST tech this morning, said he has no idea why I would be smelling gas if there was not a leak, think I would have seen a spray or a puddle or something at 43 lbs of fuel pressure, just sayin. As far as the milage goes he said the computer is still learning and it will take more than 1 tank of gas. I remain hopeful. Looks like it's time to hook up a vapor canister. Good thing I never striped all the stock crap off the back end where all the emisions stuff is.

Heavy Evy · 03-14-2011, 11:04 AM

15mpg is great number for a quadra flushed 454. 20 would be awsome!

ya, but we always want more don't we? Thanks for the compliment, no other pics of the 1/2 cab right now, I'll try to get some in the next few days.

**SOON2BLAZE** · 04-01-2011, 08:08 PM

New rubber on all the ECC stuff, new 5/16 line from the tank to the BBC and a 91 454 chevy 1500 charcole canister solved the old stink in the garage. Talked some more to FAST and started leaning out the idle air fuel ratio and the cruise air fuel ratio. Guessing 17-18 mpg now just off the fuel gauge, I'll know more at the next fill up in 2 weeks. Now for a cold air intake and a aluminum radiator before it gets hot

Also need to pull the top and think about a tonneau for the cab area to keep the sun from baking my new seats hides when it sits 13 hours outside while I'm at work.

**67cheby** · 04-02-2011, 10:13 AM

can you give me a little info on the charcoal cannister or some pics, good info thanks

What can I tell you? picked it up at autozone for 50.00 3 lines to hook up,1. from ECC line in the back all the way to where canister mounts next to the battery, 2. line to the air cleaner to burn off the fumes, 3. down between the inner fender and frame for a purge just incase it is ever to fill with gasoline. All my original metal and rubber lines were there so that helped, just replaced old cracked rubber with new fuel injection rubber lines. (you wouldn't believe the nasty old varnish in them) If your looking to do a Blazer tank on a truck: see bruces super clean build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...318544&page=13 ,
For an original blazer see diagram below

**67cheby** · 04-02-2011, 12:56 PM

i am using a fuel cell, thanks for the info i just need to figure out how to apply that to mine, my wife always gripes that the garage smells like gas ...maybe this will cure it , thanks again

Heavy Evy · 04-02-2011, 02:13 PM

You gonna bring that overgrown go gart to any cruises this year?

**SOON2BLAZE** · 04-02-2011, 02:27 PM

Every days a cruise when it's your DD! maybe some local stuff, SLC's a five hour drive, I'd rather head to AZ or vegas

Heavy Evy · 04-02-2011, 03:33 PM

Ah I see you must be down in St George then. Maybe I'll see ya down there on my way to Vegas motor speed way later this year.

**SOON2BLAZE** · 07-19-2011, 11:55 PM

Its been awhile! Still eating the elephant.........Back with progress and pics. Got the new goodmark 67 front fenders on. I got them with the blazer when I bought it 6 years ago. Nice not to have them taking up space in my garage. They lined up better than expected. I then sent it out to the body man to fill the trim /mirror holes and taigate handle. New floor pans and rockers as well. Couldnt see filling the rear markers and not getting rid of the filler neck. Need to do the camaro tank upgrade soon, so for now I cut the filler neck right above where it comes through the bed floor, flipped it to inside the bed and bridged it back together with a piece of gas hose. Cheap temporary fix. Next projects: fat mat, vinyl floor covering, door seals camaro tank and painting door panals. Getting there, slow but sure.

NTR72GMC · 07-20-2011, 12:36 AM

Looking pretty awsome! What color are you planning on painting it?

**SOON2BLAZE** · 07-20-2011, 01:22 AM

Want to paint it 1965 chevelle polymist blue. The color of the dash and steering wheel.

Heavy Evy · 07-20-2011, 02:19 AM

what did you do with your old fenders and those 5 spoke crager style wheels you got awhile back? rock the primer for awhile its legit.

Thats my ultimate goal to obtain a 2wd blazer. Thats a clean one. I like it!

**SOON2BLAZE** · 07-20-2011, 09:15 AM

The primer was a bonus, I just wanted the metal work done. thats how it was when I picked it up( wish he put in primer sealer tinted blue!) still have the wheels and fenders languishing in my garage. These 2wd are getting easier to find in this economy. get one!

**67cheby** · 07-20-2011, 09:45 AM

instead of doing fat mat and vinyl floor why not have the floor shot with spray in bedliner ?? i bed the price would be about the same and you could just wash out the floor if it got dirty and never worry about rust again !! just an idea, looking good by the way !!

**SOON2BLAZE** · 07-20-2011, 11:08 AM

Thanks 67! I forgot to mention that he POR 15 the enire floor after he did the panal replacement. Talk about getting my $ worth. this guy is the ****!!!!!!! may go with carpet, but like how simple a vinyl floor is. kinda like a bench seat in a muscle car... understated
