Some quick photos

Installed my Bosch III from FIC yesterday. Love 'em! Jon even sends his personal cell phone number, which is on at all times, if you any issue's installing. Highly recommend!

Nice! Wife is looking to retire this year..I still have more years to go, but fortunately the company I work for in MA has several offices in FL....Thinking about the snowbird routine in the next year or two.....which leads me to wonder....A vette in each state???

Exactly what I said about the fuel pump!!!!!!! Thanks!

Thanks Andy...SE Mass is not far away at all....the drink is begining to flow..when your up in MA let me know!

Ok guys...here's the scoop! Took the pump out today, could blow through the supply line and it was comming out through the pump. Took it back and got another. Installed the new injectors, fuel filter (old one was facing wrong way!) and the pump. Fired up and much better, but not quite right...

Thanks Boom, new pump installed when the new engine was installed...no idea when the filter last changed. Still not positive that its not the pump bleeding down...new injectors are due here today, so, i'll be posting tonight

Gonna change the fuel filter today...will go over every inch of fuel line from the FPR to the tank

Will do that. As mentioned, last fall I knew I was going to rebuild at least the upper half of the engine, which I was told was the stock L98. I knew what cam I had purchased, knew about the the long tube headers and the elimination of the AIR and EGR. Once all the parts were here for the...

Was able to get my hands on a hand vacuum pump. Put it on the FPR and it held 10mmHg indefinately. So much for the FPR..waiting for the injectors to get here, so I'm back looking at the pump again just to make sure.

770-888-1662.....Hope to be customer 10,004 or so, Just ordered the Bosch III myself, Nice people at FIC, very informing conversation with them this week.

Yes Toptech, this newest diagram is exactly what is in my car. Now my EGR is gone and plated off, the egr solenoid is out and the vaccum at the TB is blocked. The AIR switching valne and AIR control valve are also removed, so I'll run a line from the FPR to the manifold and the HVAC line is in...

At the time I had the chip burned, I did not know that an engine swapped had been made previously. I did know what I was going to install and remove for tha matter, and told Harris that I believed they were the stock injectors for a '86 L98. So, whatever injectors maybe in there, I figured by...

Hi all....the vacuum line diagram shown in posts 3 and 4 of this thread...are we sure that is for an 1986 w/cast iron heads? coming out of the cannister I have a slightly different configuration. The larger line shown going from the cannister goes to an aluminum tube that runs between the driver...

good point! Last thing I need now is an unwanted spark in a confined space! Spoke with the folks at FIC, nice people there also....seeing that I dont know which injectors are in there and the condition, I went ahead and ordered the Bosch III design in the 22lb range. This is plenty for my engine...

Thanks Andy, The beer will flow my friend! Schrade, you have given me for more than 2 cents worth of knowledge and I appreciate every penny of it! I'll be back out in the garage tonight going over the fuel lines again

I will try blowing back through the fuel pump tonight and checking the hose connections. Schrade, thanks for the technical input, but I just want to make a couple things clear, one of which you contradict yourself on...I do have a FSM, bought it shortly after buying the vette and joining...

Just going through old posts trying to get ideas and I remembered when I replaced the fuel pump in January, there was no pulsator on the pump. Could this be involved any way?

results are the same with the engine warm or cold...key on, not start, pressure goes to 34 -35, key off pressure drops to zero in seconds. Fuel pump is new.
