Hi Guys,
I need some advice from the pros out there. My ride has an I6 (originally had a V8) with a Powerglide Tranny and I just got a 350 5.7L from a 92 Chevy van which I intend to rebuild. However, I just noticed that there is no place to connect the fuel pump on it as that hole is sealed on the engine.

Is there a way to connect the fuel pump another way? If so, can anyone recommend a model or part number that they have had good experience with for a 68?

Thanks everyone!

 

You will need to run an electric fuel pump on that if there is no provision for the mechanical pump.

A holley pump like this requires no additional regulator to maintain the 6-7 lbs of pressure that a standard carb requires.
You can get 3/8 pipe thread to barb fittings for the pump itself, and run rubber hose in and out. Power it only when the key is on.

Awesome! Thx!

 

Use a relay, ign controlled, and run 14 AWG wire with an inline fuse, 10 amp, to the pump.
Then ground the other pump lead to a mounting bolt.
This power method will tranfer pump current through the relay contacts rather than through the ign sw and provide a pump off with the ign.
Somwe even run relay power through an oil pressure switch/sender to kill pump power in case loss of oil pressure.

 

Thanks for the info. So aside from the electric fuel pump I would also need the relay and the fuel pump safety switch.

I found these two link below on Jegs.

Is this right or am I missing something?

 

Hi Everyone,
I have used the forum search to answer my dumb question and since I couldn't find the answer I'm going to ask my dumb question on here (please keep laughter to a minimum :-)

I'm rebuilding the 350 engine I have that came from a 92 Chevy G20 Van. This weekend I noticed that one of the exhaust manifolds is damaged and likely not usable. I was told that whenever I search for any parts that will connect to the engine to reference that the motor is from a 92 Chevy Van. However, when I looked up the part # for the van and compared it to the Camaro the part numbers were different (go figure :-). I'm assuming that means I have to replace both exhaust manifolds.

Is that accurate? Should I be looking for 68 Camaro manifolds or will the 92 Chevy Van manifolds fit?

Or is this one of those things that will purely be trial and error until I find what fits.

Thx everyone!

 

I would put on a set of headers long tube or shortys or block huggers. More power and problem solved.

 

A gen 1 small block is a gen 1 small block. You're looking for exhaust manifolds or headers that are made to fit your car.

 

Cool thanks for the responses.

I'm considering a kit I found on Summit Racing website which includes long-tube headers, mufflers. The kit is sku # is SUM-CBJJ200.
Summit Racing® Dual Exhaust Systems SUM-CBJJ200 - SummitRacing.com
According to their website it should fit my car.

I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with this kit.
Also, does anyone know if my car would require a catalytic converter to pass inspection in Texas.

Thanks
