I have been swapping LS's into other vehicles for 15 years and on the Corvette reg/filter issue I have had great luck but I only have used Wix parts except for the first one which was a generic unit supplied from Speedway Motors. As far as I know they are all still working great, that being said there can be a lemon in every production run. I have used 6 of them in deadheaded systems, mostly on stock junkyard installs from a '52 Chevy Deluxe and a 71 Buick LeSabre convertible to a '91 Chevy 1500 without issue. I always use Russel fittings and ran hard line for fuel supply even on other installs with return line systems and separate regulator / filters. Just like other problems there are many ways to skin a cat.

I make a point to not mention brands in the videos but in this case the one that leaked on me was a WIX filter with Fragola fittings. Both brands I use every day with no problems and will continue to. I did try different fittings with the same result. Hopefully I just got a dud. Thanks Jerry

So now I'm back to square one. I am willing to donate my project to you for the simple fact that I don't think you've actually had a 1987 R10 on any of your very informative videos lol. (Joking not joking 😄) I'm at my wits end. Please helllllllp me! By the way, I've had several mechanics just cheat me out of my hard earned $. I just brought it back from last mechanic that promised me it would be done in 6 weeks and he had it 4 months and never touched it. In a seriousness, I would love to take it to you.

Love the videos and appreciate the time you spend on explaining both the fuel and electrical side if this build. Question i have is the switch in the cab.. can i use the stock type dual tank switch to activate the pump and the gauge? If so how would I wire that up? Thanks again

@UglyTruckExperience

Depending on which switch you have, yes. It needs to be a 2 position toggle switch. That's something we've had a lot of questions about, so we'll have a video on that very soon! Thanks for tuning in!

After watching your videos I decided to do it a bit differently. I did the pump wiring the same, but did in-tank regulators to avoid all the return line mess. Allowed me to also use the oem switch to power the relay for each pump and avoided the need for the second relay for tank sending units.

@@UglyTruckExperience being I had good condition un-baffled tanks, I went with the Holley in-tank efi conversion (not cheap sadly) which has the regulator on the side of the pickup in the tank. Their part number for the regulator is 12-878 but it snaps into a housing on the pickup tube, with that housing you could likely make your own. My other thought was two external regulators, one on each side, with shorter return loops to each tank that feed into the same check-ball/Y setup you have.

@UglyTruckExperience

Ok. I get it. I did the two regulator setup on my 74 K10 and it works great. The cost is always the issue. The regulators that I use are over 200 a piece, so I opt to go with the extra relay. The setup you have with the efi conversion sounds really nice. If I was doing my own and cost was no issue, I would go that route. Much simpler. Thanks for the info and we appreciate you watching.

@@UglyTruckExperience Did you run baffled tanks? Mine being a 78 didn't have baffled tanks so when weighing price of tank + efi sending unit + pump + regulator (even cheap corvette ones) I was about breaking even for a drop-in holley solution utilizing their hydramat instead of baffles. The only really "budget" option I found was a reservoir system like FiTech has. But with how unreliable the oem tank switch system is, no guarantee you will ever actually have two tanks! lol

No. No baffles in mine. At the time that I did it I was squeezing every penny I had. I also drive like a 90 year old man and keep the tanks full. If I was to replace one of them today I would just go with the 87 tank. You couldn't be more correct about the OEM switch. Jerry

Jerry, I love the LS videos! Question, why will the rocker switch not work? Maybe I missed this explanation. Thanks.

@UglyTruckExperience

Жыл бұрын

The rocker switch only works with the original style switch valve. By pushing on the rocker it moves those valves to another position and then when you let off the rocker it stays in that selected spot. I don't use that valve so I have to use a switch that stays open or closed. I have another one coming up and will make a point to talk about that more. Thanks Joey

Awesome. So I did an LS swap on my 80 with the carb selector valve. I couldn’t figure out out to plumb it for fuel tanks with the EFI so I decided to go to carb instead of blowing the truck up. Which is one of the reasons I did the carb conversion with a TBI fuel pumps. This is an awesome way to hook it up……… is there some relays in the factory ls fuse box you could have used to keep everything contained? I like the independent relays. Adds to the nostalgia of the truck! Great work guys.

@UglyTruckExperience

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, we absolutely could use a relay that is in that fuse box already. There are quite a few of them in there that are not being used any longer. This was definitely the easiest way to do this though. I worry about people having to work on them in the future so I try to do it in a way that I would be able to figure it out if it was brought to me for repair. If it was my truck I would use relays from the original box for sure. Would make for a great video. Thanks for watching. Jerry

Very informative video. Can you tell me where the pink wire on the dual tank switch picks up power? I do not see it labeled on the fuse block. I assume it's on the ignition side ( I don't have a battery in my truck to ck)? Is it a big enough wire to handle the current and voltage for the new pumps?

I would use the grey wire that comes out of your new harness to turn a relay on that supplies power to the fuel pumps through a fused power with key on and cranking. Buy a tank switch for a 87 which is a toggle switch, not a rocker and use that switch to change tanks through a relay. That switch was not made to have the power going to a pump through it. We will be doing another video on this soon. Hope this helps. Jerry

It works but you will need to change your rocker switch to a toggle switch.

The problem with running two tanks isnt wiring it so much...it is returning the fuel back to the same tank you are using. The best idea I have seen for fuel injection is running a IMCO valve that routes your return fuel back to whichever tank you are running. So a guy running drag week can run pump gas in one tank then switch his tune and tank over to race gas at the track.

Unfortunately the aftermarket fittings are the problem. If you use a good master crimp tool or buy the hardline it would work fine. Especially when you bought a Delco or equivalent filter. I understand why you would get turned off since you are working on customer vehicles. Keep up the good work!

Woah! What happened!? Major continuity problem! I went to bed after watching the previous video in the series which was the marathon custom fuse box(es) wiring and subsequent cruz control video. Now it's the next moring and what am I looking at!? The entire wired custom fuse box is gone and replaced by what looks like the original LS donor wiring fuse box. For me it was overnight, but your time stamp suggests it was about 6 months for you. How'd you do that bit of magic?? I'd prefer to use the original fuse box as well, but it doesn't appear to have everything that is needed and I haven't found those little crimp pins for that 'C-connector' mate. So maybe a video on that. Also a video on the "DMV" reference you made. I'm trying to figure out how to title my 1981 LS-swapped C10.

Each state is different and it seems like they change the rules occasionally. Here in a Missouri they have made it impossible to get a title in most cases.
