the owner probably changed the seats because the fronts were worn out. and why would you want a 302 in a truck? i would pick the 351 or the 300 both make better lowend power.

Looks nice. Check the suspension especially the rear spring hangers for rust. Check for oil leaks on the rear main seal, oil pan, and front seal on the tranny. Check the radiator support for rust. The fuel system on these trucks can be troublesome. If it has two tanks make sure they both work.

Regards rikard Fuel system, troublesome? Is this truck mass air or speed density? Is the trouble to do w/ EFI, or what. What to check? I believe it does have two tanks. Put gas in both and flip the switch and see if they both work, is that how you make sure they both work. thanks again for the input. |
The EFI system is SD. The fuel system uses an in tank low pressure pump and a frame mounted high pressure pump with a selector valve setup. My BIL had a 88 work truck that had several issues with the selector valve not switching and some pump problems. That was a 5.8 with a utility body and it was 10 years old. Later systems are less complicated with a single pump in each tank and no selector valves.
When you switch tanks the fuel gauge should change and the engine should keep running. Try each tank while under load like climbing a hill. regards rikard |
