well Lugnuts, you were close. even though I flushed and cleaned the tank during the build, I had a filter full of fine rusty crap. cleaned the lines, replaced the filter and it runs great. gas quantity is what the gage says empty to full. I expect to replace the filter a couple more times but now I know what I'm looking for.
thanks for the tip.
bty, if I want to upgrade my t5 gears will any WC t5 work with a tail shaft change. I just turned down one that (by the casting numbers)came out of an AMC, probably Jeep.. I wasn't sure and the shifter is way aft for my 65.
Glad you got the gas line figured out.
Stay away from any T5 with a Ford pattern case. I'm pretty sure that AMC T5 would not work either.
If you have a cast iron factory bell in your driveline, the you will need to stick with a T5 that has a Muncie bolt pattern. The 1993 S10, S15 and Sonoma trucks had a World Class T5. 1992 and earlier trucks had a non-World Class T5. If you find a 1988-92 Camaro/Firebird T5, then those are WC too. The S10 tail housing swap can convert the Camaro shift position so it fits in front of the bench seat. While the WC units are stronger, there is no reason to shy away from a non-WC unit unless you are prone to abuse it. What is your current setup? Bench seat? S10 or Camaro T5? What kind of HP from the 327?
