Thread: It's alive with a burning passion

I stand corrected. The fuel leak is in a hard line, not the rubber line I replaced. So it's still leakin

-Apex Aaron

I've already ordered the entire replacement line from tank to front. New one is gonna be stainless steel too

-Apex Aaron

Soooo, the Camaros fuel leak is a lot worse than originally thought.

THE ENTIRE LINE ALL THE WAY TO THE TANK IS PINHOLES. HOW DID I DRIVE THIS SUCESSFULLY

-Apex Aaron

Took the throttle body apart, cleaned the living hell out of it, and key it soak in grease remover for the night, came back in the morning and part of the casting cracked, and another part completely broke off.
Guess I'm gonna go to a salvage yard and find one.

OR

I found an 85 Z28 with a tpi 305, 700r4, all glass and panels with partial interior for $300

Time to drive train swap or go salvaging

-Apex Aaron

The guy with the 1985 z28 parted it out the day before we'd organized that I was going to pick it up. Although I did pick up that 350 small block, cleaned it up and now it's resting in my tool shed, my friend I got the 350 from also has a connection to pick up a throttle body to replace the one that cracked.

In other news he's gonna sell me 4 2002 mustang gt 17" wheels for the grand prix, for $200

Being cleaned:


Put in the shed to be torn down:

The fuel line came in, I got a walbro 255lph in - tank fuel pump, a fuel filter, and hopefully my friend can get me that throttle body sooner than later.
Strongly hoping that the bolts or straps don't break when I drop the tank because I'd like to have the tank down and up in one day

Girlfriend got to see the fuel lines before I got home, so she sent me some pictures:


Her response to "handle with care"


-Apex Aaron

Clay bar'd and waxed the Camaro, it needs to be redone though with some rubbing compound after I find my buffer


Also ordered and received a hydraulic lifter removal tool that should make life easier so I can get the 350 block ready to be worked.

The old fuel line was removed, the new one is in place and on the car but it needs minor tweaking to go back into the factory clamps. The throttle body is completely rebuilt and is back on the car, so now I'm just waiting to install the portion from the fuel filter to the tank.
