The air filter has an anti-rodent flap, it is either disconnect by not receiving vacuum or the vacuum activator is non op, it happens. I have mine zip tied opened, the one that I found at the junkyard was bad as well, did not hold up vacuum.Bones wrote: ENGINE:
I dumped gas in the carb it fired up then stalled. Tried that a few times and it still would not idle. Removed the entire cleaner and I'm guessing there was not enough vacuum to open the flap. It starts right up now and idles very smooth.
QUESTION: The truck doesn't have bed carpet or tailgate carpet or the chrome strips either. Is that normal? The fender wells had carpet on them.
looking at the pict I do not see the screw holes that are holding the chrome strips onto the cargo floor, so it seems that you have a non carpeting cargo from the origin... which is another less rusty spot...Bones wrote: QUESTION: The truck doesn't have bed carpet or tailgate carpet or the chrome strips either.

Hard to tell about that supplier, no specs on size, but the price is good,.... no specs on fuel hose filler diameter and fuel vapor recovery intake, ... The 88 is a plastic tank supported by the skid plate...Bones wrote: I did purchase after a whole lot of searching for a fuel tank. This is the site I used. They told me twice this tank was gonna work and If not its free shipping to return within 30 days. https://www.autopartswarehouse.com/engi ... arbc670112
Does anyone have negative input on that tank or something I should know? I will replace float/sending unit and hoses.
so this is more a pre 80's tank, not too sure when the change was done from flat to threaded, but I suspect from metal to plastic tank, for the metal tank:Bones wrote:The lock ring on the tank different. Its Flat and you'd use a punch or flat tip to lock or unlock it. Not threaded.
too many parts on the other side, exhaust and drivelineSJTD wrote:I've been thinking about adding a tank in the same position on the other side. That looks like it might work.
