Good video. I need to do this on my 1963 Ford Falcon 170 six cylinder. First, I need to get the correct fuel pump. I ordered one, but it has the connections in the wrong place. I think I have found a Carter fuel pump that will work. As to installing the hose, I used silicon lube to help when replacing the rear rubber gas tank fuel line. I wonder if that would help in connecting the metal fuel line? The fuel pump on the car has screws and is re-buildable, but I have not found the correct diaphragm. One good think, I have more room to work with than your truck has.
yo bro, i know you probably already done\know this but if you havent recapped your ECM or replaced it with a remanufactured one, itll save you from a lot of problems down the road. i know totally unrelated but i wished someone had told me before hand. anyways keep up the good work!
It looks like the old gasket is still stuck to the block. A double gasket where not intended can cause the seal to fail, so you might see a light oil leak there. I always recommend using a metal scraper. With the appropriate angles and pressure they'll cut through the gasket, but won't damage the mating surface.
Perfect timing Ed. I am about to do the same install on my 81 F150.
Great, good luck!
