Re: Palf's 1981 GMC

Good and some bad this weekend. Got the lower half of engine out on Friday evening. Plan on taking the stuff I have, the 81 block, couple old style heads, the 4bbl intake and other stuff to builder this week. Get that old 6 banger going again.

The bad, my DD driver, the 06 died. I was getting ready to drive 4.5 hrs to central Louisiana to get parts for my truck and a friends car. Parked the truck Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, jumped into go, turned the key, it started to fire, then bang and dead. Spent all day I am guessing fuel pump dies but so far it is giving me intermittent indications that it is and is not pump. Stopped after a while yesterday before I got to ticked and smashed it. I'll dive into that again tomorrow morning.

Oh the fun of old and oldish trucks. Good thing is it died at home and not several hundred miles away.
