I have a 87 that I'm rebuilding. I had to replace ALL the fuel lines. Got it running and driving. It drives like an old Chrysler luxury car. I did have to rebuild the motor. It ran great but #8 rod bearing was ready to spin. Mine is the same color as yours. You're going to have fun with it.
@@ModelTTime it's getting there. I've been chipping away at it slowly but I'm also simultaneously redoing this Jeep WJ and building my Chevelle at the same time lol. I have it running great now from replacing the old fuel lines by the tank but I blew the accelerator pump on the Rochester 2 barrel I swapped on. Once I replace that it should be all sorted out finally to make a follow up video!
Cool vehicle. They have visually been a favorite of mine. The poor MPG has certainly put me off, not to mention I don't think it would be a reliable daily. The only thing that keeps coming to me with the fuel issue is perhaps a collapsed fuel line? It is just a guess, but maybe try shooting some compressed air through the line and see if it is fully clear of debris. I just watched another revival video recently where there was an unseen inline fuel filter causing a restriction. Once they cut it out the vehicle ran much better.
All coming in part two. Still currently trying to solve it still. Part of me is thinking that fuel pump is junk, the other part thinking it's a collapsed line, although most of it is actually hard line that runs up to the tank so
A lot of work to get it running, but I'm sure Jeff would be proud. Keep it up!

Try with the pump closer to the tank? They are a push type pump not pull.
For short term pumping it's irrelevant. Didn't make a difference. Part two coming
Leave them black tires
