Thanks LC for the explanation. I vaguely remember that now.

Ha, I didn't know you knew Eric! He's a great guy, I just saw him this weekend. Yeller would not be nearly as nice as it is without him. Glad you had fun, I gotta get down there one day.

Yeah, he's good people. I wish we would have had more time to visit. He has forgotten more about LS motors and swap than most will ever know.

We need to meet up when you get down this way or me up that way.

Bring it on, we got a bbq place just down the road with a 65 Impala for a bar and a Comp dragster hanging from the ceiling. First round's on me!

Thanks for the link. I put in the resister but it seems to be reading a little low. How accurate is your gauge? mine reads fine at 100-1,000 RPM but seems to be falling behind after that. I am assuming this is the difference between the pcm being programmed at 4cyl mode vs. 8cyl mode?

Mine seems pretty accurate. We have a Bluetooth scan tool code reader that gives live engine data. The tach on mine stays pretty close to it.

I just browsed through lt1swap.com and he does in fact set the tach signal to 8 cylinder mode when he does a reflash. This means that mcbassin's tach signal IS in fact 8 cylinder mode.

Thanks for the positive feedback and for checking out my build.

mcbassin · 02-28-2017, 09:41 AM

Just a quick update, I have been driving my old truck when weather allows. My wife and I just made the 810 mile round trip to Conroe, Texas for the Lonestar Throwdown. It was a great show. Got to meet up with a bunch of new and old friends.
The truck performed great. Only one little hiccup when the fuel pump gulped a little air going up a long steep hill. A short delay and we were back on the road.

I plan to change a few things on the fuel setup that should prevent that from happening again.

Here's a few pictures from the trip.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-28-2017, 09:48 AM

Awesome pics Mike! Is your tank baffled or were you just a little low on fuel?

MMcMasters · 02-28-2017, 10:07 AM

Mike,

Your truck is one of my all time favorites!

**lolife99** · 02-28-2017, 10:42 AM

Such a very nice truck!

Thanks Rob, the tank is a standard blazer tank, so no baffles. It's the first time I've ever had this happen. I will be changing the tank and pump setup before I drive that series of hills in southern OK.

Thanks Keith, I thought we might meet up down there. I hope you are in good health. Eventually, I will see your Blazer in person. Even if it's just at Keith's shop.

Thanks Keith. It's always amazing when you cruise these trucks how folks come right up and visit about them. It usually starts with "my dad had one of these" or "my grandpa had one of these.....

Very cool on making the trip and the truck still looks awesome! It's nice to hear you only had minor hiccup and were able to keep going.

Thanks Ryan. It's fun to drive but I'm not sure I want to make the long journey again....

knomadd · 02-28-2017, 06:50 PM

Well Mike, I looked for you a few times on Saturday, but you weren't ever around your truck (when I was). I rode with a friend and hung out all day. You're truck looks even better in person. Maybe we'll meet at another show this year, or next year at LST.

Thanks and Sorry Duane, I didn't spend much time around my truck. Hopefully we can meet up at c/10s in the park or goodguys in the fall.
