I'm swapping a 06 5.3(returnless fuel) into a 91 that had a carburetor instead of the tbi. When i was taking off the fuel lines that go up to the engine, i noticed that the return line(?) Was capped off. It had a in and out fuel pressure regulator(?)(no return in that regulator.)
You think if i install a Corvette style regulator and connect the return line that was capped off coming from the gas tank to the return outlet from the regulator. It'll work with my returnless set up ?
As long as you have a return less fuel rail that will work perfectly. The corvette filter regulator will regulate the fuel to 58 psi so anything that isn’t needed in the rail will be returned through the filter. I like to keep my return as short as possible coming out of the filter back to the tank.
I really like everything you did. I am doing the same thing on a 78 blazer my question is how come you’re sending unit is turned towards the passenger side when you’re going down the driver side frame rail. I understand why you went down the driver side frame rail, but I’m just wondering why you didn’t take off in that direction
@@SteveSerpa-o8j sending unit only goes into the tank one way which puts the outlets down the passenger side frame rail which is where the stock fuel lines ran.
Dallas Tx. I really dig how u did this. I think I will do tha same on my C10. Thanks & great content very clear on how to go about doin it. I'm now a sub looking forward to more content 👌
Great info! I'm doing the same thing now. I'm using stainless 3/8 tubing for the fuel lines. I was thinking about using steel or stainless tube nuts and sleeve. I see you used aluminum tube nuts and sleeves. Did you have any problems with leaks with the aluminum fittings on the stainless tubing?
I noticed my '73 c10 doest have rear upper spring perches, just leaf springs. .....is that normal...although there are lower perches on the rear axle....I just swapped in a cammed 5.3 and a 3000rpm stalled built th350...got her all wired up and running, now I get to move on to the fun stuff. .....body work, luckily the seat has no rips , just gotta get a dash cap and door panel caps....it was a straight 6 granny 4 spd truck, when I got it , but it must of been a 3 on the tree originally because I can see where the column shifter once lived....
Nice work. I like watching your videos. I see in this video you already installed the brake lines. What proportioning valve are you using. I can't find a replacement in the parts store.

Thks for the video I used a 21 cal blazer tank changed out the pump with a walbro 255 but had the the wiring in the tank to 14 pcfe wirer how much the Delco fuel pump and how many Amp does it pull please
It was around $50 bucks when I purchased it. I’m sure the price has went up considerably, I checked and it’s out of stock with no price given. I’m unsure of the amp draw.
Great video. I am curious if you can just run the flex line all the way and not deal with the hard lines. Did you do the hard lines just for a cleaner look? Just wondering.
You shouldn’t have any problems running flex lines the entire length. I added hard lines for a little more reliability, flex lines can fail with ethanol fuel.
Well, now, of course they sell one that would point towards the driver side. If you had to do it again would you use one that pointed towards the driver side just trying to make a decision before I order the new sending unit
Arnie Cann the bigger connection vents the filler neck. The smaller connection vents the tank, I’m going to run a piece of fuel line with a filter on the end of it for that.
I’m actually going to be switching out the flex lines and running hard lines all the way to the firewall. I will do an update video on it once I am done!
I appreciate it! Engine bay and interior should be clean and updated. Paint is rough but that’s the way I like it. It won’t be a trailer queen it will be daily driven.
Nice video from CALIFORNIA
I appreciate it!
Super helpful info! Thanks for putting this out there.
UNITED BY TRUCKS of course! Thanks for the support and all the great info you put out on you’re channel!

No leaks, have about 7500 miles on the fuel system since the swap.

@@taylorschmidt5701 if you buy a good quality flex like you most likely won’t have any issues.
@@3rdGenC10s awesome. I'm going to start fuel lines on my LS Scout II this evening hopefully. Thank you for your advice!

Id just run it down the passenegr side if i did it again.
What fitting did you use to connect the corvette filter to the feed line
Fittings Kit for Fuel Filter/Regulator 58 PSI for LS swaps and EFI conversion a.co/d/b05k5Dx
Did u cap off the other lines coming out of the sending unit?
Arnie Cann the bigger connection vents the filler neck. The smaller connection vents the tank, I’m going to run a piece of fuel line with a filter on the end of it for that.
Does that mean u plugged the filler neck vent from the sending unit?
No, it will be ran to the filler neck when the body goes on.
Hi what year is the corvette regular thks

Good video thanks!!!
I’m actually going to be switching out the flex lines and running hard lines all the way to the firewall. I will do an update video on it once I am done!
Where do you buy hard line for fuel thks
I purchased mine through a local industrial supply store. Any local auto parts store should carry it or be able to order it for you.
That's gonna be one clean resto''''
I appreciate it! Engine bay and interior should be clean and updated. Paint is rough but that’s the way I like it. It won’t be a trailer queen it will be daily driven.
You leave the tape on the hose end?
I do, it keeps it from fraying as you insert the end of the hose into the fitting.
Mann good video !!
Hope it helped you out.
great vid
