    Holley fuel pump

    I put a Holley red fuel pump in a few years ago. All was fine but lately the pump cuts out. The wiring is good. It just stops and then starts. I was told they are only good for gas, but I got the idea from here. I have also seen teh green Mr Gasket pumps which are cheaper, but they say fuel...

    Vaccuum Adjustment IP

    I can't seem to find the intructions on setting the VAC adjustment for the trans at the IP pump. Anyone have it? My Trans keeps shifting up and down from 3-2 with a new modulator. I adjusted it out, but then it seems to shift to sloppy.

    Banks Turbo

    Anyone interested in a Banks turbo? I bought it some time ago and have decided I will never get around to putting it on. Oh and I need money. That's the worst. It is the earlier style with big square box air cleaner.

    trip

    The truck and I made it back from FL successfully without any major problems. I was happy to get 12 MPG doing between 65-75. The only 2 real problems were a low speed vibration (25 MPH), and a wierd thing with the cruise. The vibration I think is from a tire. It happened after I came off of the...

    fan clutch

    What is the best way to test a fan clutch? I replaced mine with a used one that I got off of here. It has resistance, but I do not here it kick in like the old one.

    thoughts?

    So I am sitting here thinking about the fule light situation. When I installed the fuel pump I did not bypass the old one. Do you think it may be causing a blockage?

    fuel light

    I hauled with the truck this weekend, and did not see any performance improvement from the Holley. As a matter of fact the fuel light remined coming on; however not immediately. Now it comes on only on longer pulls and the farther down the tank is. I make some other observaations. The 1200...
