Roy, it was parked origiannly because the sonin law couldnt keep it running, one day it would be fine, the next day it wouldnt start, or would cut off. He got tired of working on it, and didnt really have the money either. Turned out ot be the frame rail fuel pump. It has 3 pumps, one in each tank, and one on the frame rail. Anyways after getting it running, I replaced both fuel tanks, and each pump in the tank, the frame rail pump was alread new so I left it, new fuel lines from tank to engine, and new filter. I did all of that because each tank was rusty inside, and the lines lokked bad on the outside so I replaced them. Also while tracking down another problem, tghe pressure regualtor was replaced, and each injector was checked at a local place. I think I can rule out a fuel problem.
Im pretty sure the exp. tank and hose to it a re good to go, I cleaned all of them once before when I changed to coolant. There was some gooky slime in the bottom of it, but the hose was clear, but blew it out anyways. As I mentioned before, I cant see any bubbles, but by the time I can get it started and get to the rad cap, its shaking so bad I couldnt see in there anyways. If i start it without the cap, it will blow coolant all over the engine. I keep leaning towards a blown head gasket, but I have no white smoke from the tailpipe(s), and it holds pressure with my tester for an hour or so, so if it was a head gasket, why is it holding pressure? This is a basic deal I know, but Im not 100% sure that eveything is the same on this engine/block as the older 302s.
