Sounds great sitting still
New fuel pump
New distributor new cap rotor wires 2 different sets of plugs added a extra fuel filter before fuel pump replace squishy fuel line changed carburetor
Still won’t make it around the block..
Guess I’ll drop the tank and see what’s going on there… it is very frustrating.

I think I found the problem. This is a diesel can and this brown junk is what’s coming out of the tank. I bought a in line electric transfer pump and put it down by the fuel pump on the block and this is what came out. Tank coming out Saturday morning 😎

Please be careful in this extremely hot weather!! Its killer hot. And be careful with your jack stands on soft, hot-soaked asphalt.
Please don't become a statistic. Just saying. . .

Thanks Rick. I appreciate you. It’s not an ideal working spot but sometimes you have to do with what ya got. I do have car backed in on 4x8 sheets of ply and the jack stands have another piece under them. 2 floor jacks are being used. I never get under a car without them.

Today’s shenanigans..
We tackled the right rear wheel cylinder today after work. When I upgraded the Elcamino to the larger bore S-10 wheel cylinders, I kept the other ones as they only had about 2500 miles on them. Today’s helper is the wife .. Toni .. We will do the driver side tomorrow after work. The gas tank has shipped and should be here Thursday afternoon.
Those clips are a subject for a different thread tho 😂

Update on the longroof..
New distributor, cap, rotor. Had a set of wires left over from the Elcamino engine swap so I used those. The gas tank was rusted and beyond repair so I ordered a new one from Rock Auto. New fuel pump, flushed all the lines, replace all rubber fuel lines, replaced carburetor, new tires, new rear shocks, new rear wheel cylinders. Cleaned it up a little bit. Tags, registration, insurance. Had to cut the muffler off to get the tank out so it’s going to the muffler shop tomorrow afternoon to get it put back on. I am NOT going to paint it..
It runs 100% better.
Special shout out to
