Thanks, ... Now should I do the Airdog at the same time???? They state I should replace the feed pump and filter at the same time....... $950 is one thing, but an additional $500 is another......

is the holley still working? as long as you have a working lift pump and a fuel filter i wouldnt worry about it. the airdogs are nice, but no need to remove a working system to replace it if you dont have the extra coin to throw at it.

Jason try http://fixinrams.com/. He has Vacuum pumps and parts. That's where most of us get our Vacuum pump seals from.
We have been seeing a lot more of that with the CG, we used to just replace everything but now that they are getting more budget minded things are actually getting repaired. I had 6 pumps from VT903's in my shop for a few years with a repair order requested and they finaly got approved recently. Glad you are getting the OT scott!

Anyone know what size the trans cooler hard lines are in the autos? I need to get some slip fittings and probly 2 90's or something to loop the lines that went to my heat exchanger. I got the in line tee for a temp sensor a while back and now that I have a perfect opportunity to put it on, I cant find it.

Lost motivation the past 2 months on the truck but im tinkering away in the evenings here and there. Got the fuel lines and power steering hooked back up tonight. Tightening the engine mounts and putting the starter on another night. One day it will live again.

Well there's quite a few to choose from. Goerends, Garmons, DTT, Suncoast....................
I have been pounding on my TCI from Jegs for 4+ years and it's still holding on strong. It was only $500. But i also have a good VB too. Gotta get those stock line pressures up with a good VB.

1/2" compression fittings will work just fine.

Is it still the stock converter? The TCI Maximizer that i have is the billet front cover. I figure TCI has been making race trans for ever so they should know what they're doing.
