Weekend Progress:

sooo...i've had a bad fuel delivery issue that was making my throttle response horrible, and it even left me on side of the road a couple of times, i dropped the tank, there's no filter in there, just a pickup tube...but that pickup tube was really close to the bottom of the tank, so it could have been restricted when the pump was demanding more fuel....to try and remedy that, i made a new, longer pickup tube that sits parallel with the tank instead of perpendicular and i took out the stock fuel filter and replaced it with a glass filter...(behind the pump) i also added a glass filter right before the pump so i can see the goings on of my gasoline =P, here's a really crappy paint drawing for reference...



after i did all that, i changed out the belt...the belt it came with was a bit too long and had lots of slack in it, when the truck was running it looked sloppy, it got swapped out with a Dayco belt that's 1.5" shorter and really, really sticky. it had paper exhaust gaskets that leaked badly and sounded like ***, aside from that the flanges that bolt the headers to the exhaust were really loose too, i tightened up those flanges and i replaced the paper gaskets with Percy's Seal4Godo soft aluminum gaskets...no more exhaust leaks!

i took it out on the highway and dogged the crap out of it at a few redlights, the throttle response is 1000% better, it doesn't drag *** at all, i don't know what i did specifically, but something wound up fixing the problem.

Pics...

With the mythical 500hp 327 right?

[2jack3jack]

I don't care if you don't believe me it just a forum. I believe somone is jealous

[suicide_star]

who's jealous? if i wanted something that you had, i'd go buy it.

[Lucky7]

I would just sit in the Blazer and listen to it idling.

One question. The rear wiper, is that the stock location? I am use to seeing the wiper sitting on the lower part of the rear glass.

[suicide_star]

that is the stock location, in fact...i didn't even know they ever came with rear windshield wipers on first gen blazers, i've seen maybe 2 other ones with it.

Jealous of your words? Because that's all you've shown of these mythical cars. No proof of these being under your ownership, nor anything of their speed, much less even running.

anything in the 12's would suffice. i'm not sure what it'll do with the 3.42 rear end. at least it hooks up better now =)

Dude, the only way anyone is going to believe your outrageous claims is if you did the bread and milk picture thing, and posted actual dyno/track times, with proof of course.

I could claim that I've got my hand-built supercharged 5.4L V8 already in my car, when truthfully, the block is still in the scrapyard and I haven't acquired any of the parts.

See what I mean? Either provide proof, or be flamed and be labeled as a liar, just like several other members that we have had here before.

And if you didn't care about what we think, then why do you keep bragging about these mythical cars that you may or may not own?
