Re: L29 454 Build for '63 K15 with NV4500

They say that after a month of potatoes and beans, even a change to beans and potatoes can be a good thing so I left the ECM mounting for later since the harness was into the cab now. I needed to do something different so I turned to the fuel system.

I had an '89 blazer tank sitting under the house for many years and recently installed it when I had the bed off for the rear spring swap. At that time, the carbed 396 was doing just fine so I set the tank up for a carb but had never hooked up the fuel lines.

I dropped the tank, pulled the pickup and sending unit out and started to figure out how Id run the 0-30 fuel gauge with this set up. Then I remembered that Vin63 was modifying sending units to work with our old gauges. I read some of the posts on this and decided that the best thing for my set up would be to cut the original sending unit off of the in cab unit and weld it to the new pickup / in tank pump unit. I checked it after with an ohm meter and it doesn't seem like I messed it up. I think it may work ok.
