I got a lot accomplished today. I have been trying to get the yard dog running after a year's sleep. I've been working on it for a couple of weeks. I think I finally got it. It now has clean fuel lines, a new fuel pump and a rebuilt carb. Cleaning the lines was one of the first things I did. So when the pump puked a glob of somethinorother into the carb inlet I didn't suspect clogged lines. I done cleaned them.

I had a noise coming from the belt area on my Suburban. I pulled the alternator and had it checked. I figured it had to be the water pump then. When I wiggled the fan blade I heard chirping sounds. I sent a pump to be rebuilt and got it back today.

But when I pulled the belt I found the real culprit. The harmonic balancer pulley was rattling. I pulled the radiator and changed it out with one from a 235. I always said Chevies make good parts trucks. I just got it all back together except antifreeze. I plan to pick up some fresh in the morning.
