My 90 was tail ended awhile ago and decided to take everything out and stick it in my 85 K5 Blazer.

I started out with a simple mindset and it turned into everything from roller rockers to fluid damper, small chamber heads, you name it.... $415 for Tubetech fuel lines and another $600 for an EFI tank, pickup assy, and a GM 1LE f.p.

Yesterday I connect the ECM, prime the oil pump and turn the key....

Sputter, sputter... She tried to start but couldn't get past that. SO I check the usual spark/timing thing and look for codes. Awesome spark (new billet dist. w/msd coil, Taylor wires,etc...)

Since I don't have a fuel pressure test gauge (daughter used the one I had for checking dirt pressure..lol), I wrap a couple rags up and give the fuel rail schrader valve a quick hit and what do I get? a dribble.... LOL

Surely all that money and planning obviously didn't include one thing...

A NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR!!!!!

After mumbling quite a few explatives I realize that you can plan and execute a really expensive and kewl swap. but all of it just isn't going to go anywhere if you forget the basics.

 

looks pretty, but my truck is bigger

 

LOL...

Two things have kept me from lifting it more. PA Vehicle code and that 25ft Sea Ray in the background...
