87 SAS build up- new rig

[87hillbillyoter]

so, got home from school last night, went to drive my truck this morning. no start poured some fuel in the carb, sputtered to life, backfired, died. repeated this process quite a few times trying to get fuel to the engine, but no such luck. ok, so its not getting fuel. nothing in the sight glass. i put a new fuel filter on about 2 months ago, so that cant be it. so i went out and bought a fuel pump, got it on. but now the starter is fried so now im just waiting for it to work again if anybodys got any ideas, let me know.

Did you try tappin the starter? That usually works for me when it doesnt wanna crank.

[87hillbillyoter]

ok, used the loader to bump start it. ran perfect, idled fine, warmed up perfectly. but as soon as i hit the gas, it just went full throttle. wouldnt come out of it. and its not stuck eithger. any ideas?

[BoG-ToY]

check your ignition timing? valve timing? lol weird that it turns so slow? intake leak? egr blocked off? all your vacuum hoses? gotta be getting air from somewhere

[87hillbillyoter]

got it started, now i have a new problem.

[87hillbillyoter]

little update here.

got everything unhooked on the dash, except for the heater cables. anybody know the best way to get these off?



these little som bishes



started cleaning up the engine bay and the bellhousing



buuttt i still got a little bit to go





also got most of the wiring harness pulled from the engine bay. gawd i hate wiring





this thing is sitting so high in the front with the engine 



starting to pile up





go juice



picking the engine up later today, more to come later as well

[91 ex-cab]

 Never mind you got it. On the heater cables I have bent the metal piece back straight on the bottom with pliers so it can pull straight up, although it can jack them up a little bit so not sure if it's the best way to go about it.


        In the 3rd to last picture, what is up with your passenger tire? It looks like its leaning out

[Sparkplug]

Heater cables easier than you think. The little wire just slips out of it. See way its shaped? I believe one of them you hve to remove from under the hood. But after you get one out, you will understand, and i will be easy.

Looking good man

[md_530]

how much progress did you make today ?

[87hillbillyoter]

a little bit of stuff here and there. engine bay is all cleaned up and a few parts painted, dash and vents pulled, wiring harness pretty much out, and i picked up the engine. tomorrow im cleaning the engine up and hopefully getting the wiring harness in. too dark for pics so ill get them tomorrow

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Progress looks good. Those heater cables suck at removing. I have had to replace two of the switch deals and holy hell was it a pain.

[md_530]

Niice man sounds good maybe i will stop by.
