How about a live feed from the shop today?

O.K.........The first item that needed to be adressed was to get the upper radiator hose pieced together and in the correct positions......I had to piece together a couple of hoses and get them connected together.........I made a couple of adaptors at the shop to accomplish this.....





This second adaptorjoin the 1 5/16" hose (from the LS engine) to the 1 1/2" (fitting at the Radiator) and I ended up installing a hose barb fitting for the LS steam line from the heads....

Dave came over and we started by powering up the fuel pump.....the pump ran but we had no fuel pressure at the rails.....WTF......Checked at the filter ....no fuel,.....but we could hear the pump running and fuel flowing inside the tank.....Hummm!!.....Pull the tank down and found that I didn't have the push on fitting inside the tank snapped on fully and when the line built some pressure it blew itself off.....an hour later it was back in the car and built pressure.....Bingo!!.....That was easy...."AND"........The moment of truth........... Click on the pic and see what happened........LS Engines "ROCK"....
