    79FJ40….fuel pump/carb issues….time for conversion to EFI?

    Quick update…..acquired an OEM stock fuel pump and finally got around to the install. I did check to be sure no blockages in lines from the fuel tank and all was well there. Turns out that the feed line into the old pump had a small hole/slit in it caused by an overtightened hose clamp….so...

    79FJ40….fuel pump/carb issues….time for conversion to EFI?

    Interesting alternative…..but for $500 I think a new insert into the tank is another option. As you can see from this photo of when I had the tank prep‘d and ready to reinstall during my resto work….the inlet/return fitting is made into a removeable ‘bung’ that is fixed with a gasket and few...

    79FJ40….fuel pump/carb issues….time for conversion to EFI?

    Thanks for feedback……I had this “stock or resto-mod” discussion with myself about the time I started the restoration 12+ years ago…..decided the stock route since I had formerly had a 1963 Corvetter roadster many years prior and kept that stock as well….at the time it was a major no-no to mod a...

    79FJ40….fuel pump/carb issues….time for conversion to EFI?

    I’ve got a question in here so bare with me….first some background to help folks respond. I did a full frame off resto on my 79FJ40 about 10 years ago…..literally everything was rebuilt or replaced back to factory original. Took me two years to do all the work. Truck has factory power...
