I think the gauge gave that much away... I can't tell what kind though.

Its a fuel pressure guage, and the lines required to hook to the carb. I am running all steel line from pump to carb. Trying to clean up the engine bay.

Damn Brett that is a nice truck. I'm not brand loyal so I say good purchase. As long as you like it that is all that matters. I would have rather had your old dodge with a cummins. But that is just my preference.

Thanks Jon, I do really like the truck. I would love to have my old dodge back but I was young and couldn't afford to keep it.


Looks like my fuel line project is being put on hold. I can't seem to find a fitting to adapt the Russel fittings to the steel line, so I may have to order the line from Edelbrock $$.

Nope, I still have it, listed it to see what offers were out there. For some reason everyone wanted to trade their GSXR motorcycles...got at least 5 offers, diff years and motors.

Yeah, its hard to convince people once they see the paint. Could've had a twin turbo Cummins with a 6 speed and some people would've stopped at the paint.

Very true. I really don't wanna part with it, but with me moving most likely I need to minimize my stuff and plus if I sell it I can eliminate a few bills and that opens my options for finding a nice older Bronco.

Bills are usually important. Plus with a big move like that not having all the stuff back at home to worry about isn't good.
