Project: PBR-Built Z/28

[JoeliusZ28]

Ok cool. Yeah, mine have the heatsinks on them which I'm told means they're LS1 coils and not the truck ones. Let me know if you decide you want anything, they're not going anywhere.

Also, I know I don't really know y'all but if you need another set of hands let me know. Wrenching parties are always fun.

Ok, im definitely interested if they have the heatsinks. Shoot me a PM what you want for everything.

I'll post up the details when i have the wrenching party probably wont be until mid december when im done with class but we'll see. Everyone here is welcome as long as you arent a new member with 3 posts

Ok cool, give me a day or two to see what stuff is worth and I'll let you know. It all came as a package deal with other stuff so I gotta find individual prices. I'll let it go reasonably though.

[JoeliusZ28]

Cool, no hurry!

New complete fuel pump assembly - Delphi W0133-1599740 or HP10036

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Or

AC Delco FLS1077 (19179528)
Carter P74786M
Retech AFS0420S
Spectra SP3924M
UltraPower UP74782M

[JoeliusZ28]

Are these stock spec? Im thinking i need something better if i burned the last delco up in 15k miles.

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Just part numbers for complete units. I find it weird that you burned up a Delco unit so fast...what fuel pressure are you at? AC Delco and Delphi pumps are probably the best non-aftermarket units out

[JoeliusZ28]

The only thing about this pump is it was used for 5000 miles in ryans car (also pretty high hp) and then 15k in mine. So the total was more like 20k. But i agree, delco pumps usually last closer to 100k

thats a lot to do. Let me know if ya need a hand

[TylerT/AZ28]

im up to lend a hand or maybe even both hands.

[JoeliusZ28]

Getting started:



Alternator relocation kit (modified stock accessory bracket) and new used power steering pump


Stock torque arm is out and NEVER going back in. Couldnt install the UMI yet. fuel lines absolutely need to be removed before it will fit.

Thanks guys. I'll let ya know if Im planning any work days. Until I finish this semester at school I think its just going to be a half an hour here and there after work.

Suprised to see how far those fuel lines stick out in the tunnel. 3rd gens have a much flatter bracket so they ride tight to the sheet metal...you could investigate those as an alternative?
