  • With the help from Eric Evans ‪@QueenCitySpeedShop‬ we installed the fuel system into the square body K5 Blazer. This video is a little different with more history around certain tools we use and Eric provides some tuner knowledge as we build out the system.
    We also run into something neither one of has seen before, but maybe you can provide the answer in the comments.

    Great content!!! 2 questions did you use the 31G or 25g fuel tank? And are you running pump gas with the E85 injectors?

    • @BestDamnShopAround
      @BestDamnShopAround  Před 9 měsíci +1

      It's the 31g tank. I plan on running pump gas, I chose the e85 compatible injector because they are larger and will support the aftermarket camshaft I chose!

      Thank you! I don't remember the part number but it is for a 1987 Chevy K5 Blazer with a 350Ci engine

    What's the part number for the sending unit and did you find out which wires went where off of the pump (purple grey)?

    • @BestDamnShopAround
      @BestDamnShopAround  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Can't remember the part number, just a sending unit for a '87 K5 Blazer. The purple wire is the fuel pump power

      I didn't put together a formal list but I believe we tell all the part numbers and applications are in the video! Any other things you need to know I'll try my best to answer!

    My fuel gauge dakota digital start at a point and slowly increase about 1/8 or so and every time you turn switch on and off you keep getting a different reading any ideas why....

    • @BestDamnShopAround
      @BestDamnShopAround  Před 2 měsíci

      I'm not 100% sure but I would start by checking the ground as well as the connection going into the Dakota box

    • @luismoreno2383
      @luismoreno2383 Před 2 měsíci

      I will do that I have the ground from box to bolt on the firewall. Ground from my sending unit 3 wire ground is to the frame. Gray fuel pump power is ran to relay up front . Purple for gauge is ran to the Dakota box fuel side twisted together with fuel- ground. Then I have that fuel- running to frame is that correct or where did you run the fuel- from the Dakota box to? Thanks

    what fuel filler neck hose did you use I got the same set up but the fuel inlet on the tank is bigger than the original
