Ok , heres the latest update.After it ran for a bit , I fixed the tranny line that was leaking.By then my batery was dead , so I took it in to recharge it.I charged it for almost 2 days , untill the light said it was charged.I then put on my grounding straps and voltage regulator that I had ordered , a good one I paid 19.99 for <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
Anyway , I put the battery back in the truck , turned the key , and no power at all.I got that fixed today , it was a fusible link in the black box behind the passenger headlight.Easy and cheap fix.One of the ends had come off , the wire was corroded so I replaced the wire and the tips.I now have power.
It was turning over , then I ended upw ith a small fire under the truck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />There was way too much fuel going into the TBI , forcing it into the chamber and out my headers.Not a big deal , I have an extinguisher handy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So I figured ok , the plate holding the injectors down wasn't on good enough , but when I looked the fuel was coming out the bottom , in a faucet on type of way.I figured ok , bad O-rings , easy fix.I replaced both O-rings , top and bottom , turned the key on , same problem.The fuel was coing out so fast it filled up the TBI bowl almost instantly.It wasn't a nice even cone shaped spray.
I then did what the manual says to test things.One test is to unplug the injectors and watch for fuel.Well , even with the injectors unplugged , the same thing was happening , extreme amounts of fuel pouring out of the injectors.So , according to the manual , my injectors are no good.This is a Holley 3210 TBI , and I believe I read a post somewhere about someone having problems getting new injectors.I sent an email to Holley to see whats up , and if they can get me some new injectors.This of course means more delays to me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Here it should be out running on the streets already.Anyway , if the injectors aren't available , I guess I'll have no choice but to get a 4.3 TBI , and redo everything.That means rewiring the TBI , probably changing out the spacer , all the TPS , IAC and stuff.This means more time and money.Both I don't want to put a lot into this when I'm so close.I'm hoping I can just get some new injectors and be done with it.
