Re: Vapor Lock Problem - 76 Chev 454 by Ronald E. Cannon
Post New Message Rich, Thanks, I'm going to try that, because that is somthing that would be very easily overlooked. In 1976 chevy did not have a return line from the pump. They didn,t offer a 454 in a K10 4X4. I built and installed mine. In order to use a mechanical fuel pump, I had to use a 1966 396 Chevelle fuel pump because it was short and used no return line. The front crossmember in 1976 did't have clearence for a normal 454 fuel pump because it was not designed for a 454, Daa! What do you think about elimating the mechanical pump, for the heat source, and going with an electric pump only, with a oil pressure switch of course?
Thanks, Ron
