The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun New 9ft bed progress!! & 1ton GMC build

Thanks Doyle. I think I got it figured on the gas gauge front tonight. It’s working and out of the cluster. Bad ground on back side. Mine was reading similarly to yours. A slight flicker up towards about 1/4 and nothing. It pegged back and forth tonight after the shine up.

I can’t believe how fuel spikes. Irritating, especially as we are the country’s biggest supllier. We need to go Saudi style and offer our home brewed fuel at home brewed prices. Yeesh.
Perhaps I should pull the 261 and install electric motors! An electric “motor that looks like a stovebolt? Hmmm.

The sediment bowl has gone back on my parts shelf. What a pain. I think that’s part of the reason they stopped putting those on vehicles and tractors.

That 6 week window sure is closing rapidly. I still need to get it inspected and insured! I’m skipping the seats and door panels for now. If I sent them in they may get delayed and then I definitely won’t be attending.

It was fun starting up the GMC. I had my dad there and my little guy. It was special doing that together with my wife supervising.
