Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

I may have, but holding the other one up it looks like they are identical. Same numbers on them. I may try swapping it anyways.
I got cyl #6 to line up perfect, hand thread both collars on.
Still struggling with the rest.
:thumb: i like using a marker and a sheet of cardboard with holes punched in it to hold things like fuel lines and pushrods,etc so they go right back. Works for lots of stuff.
That looks like a LBZ FPR on there. Just a heads up: you're going to have a heck of a time getting that plugged in. I usually plug the connector in then install the banjo bolt to the return line.
Yep. I wound up bending my line to get it in there. Took me a while. I don’t recommend that route tho
Damn, that reminds me how much I like the lly fuel system over the lb7. Seemed like there was fricken hard lines everywhere on the lb7
Thanks, I really should have taken pictures
It’s starting to look like something though!
Yeah... I was just looking at that thinking what the hell.
I think I remember reading about trimming the plastic on the harness to help?
I already tightened the banjo bolt, maybe I can take the FPR out and plug it in then reinstall the FPR?
The stock return setup was very... Japanese. I threw it all away and made my own hard line return setup and it's like 5x simpler.
I think that could work. You'll figure it out, one way or another.
Pulled the FPR out, plugged it in, trimmed the connector, and got it back together. I used my tool that I made from the first time I replaced the FPR with everything still in place other than AC.
Then I went ahead and cross threaded the FICM
Spent 20 min un-gaking that.
I also want to replace the whole wiring harness, mine is the type that has the hard plastic shroud for the whole center, and a lot of the looms have fallen apart and I wouldn’t doubt if I’ve got some wire knicks, and a few of the connectors are missing the rubber boot that seals it.
On my built motor I removed the plastic raceway due to it being brittle and not fitting with my new turbo/intake setup. On my Suburban I kept it stock. I didn't notice any wire chafing or anything on either motor when I went through the harnesses.
