67 Nova 5.3L LS swap - Page 11

Try plugging or pinching off the return line and see if the pressure comes up. this will allow you to confirm it's not the filter. Make SURE you don't have a leak/stuck injector etc that's bleeding off the pressure. Confirm you've got 12+ volts at the pump.

I'm running a tank setup from Rock Valley, the fuel pump only has an inlet and outlet. I was having a fuel pressure bleeding off issue with the TPI also. I'm starting to think that it's the pump. I found out that since I bought a pump for a TPI originally that it only has 47 psi not the 58 that an LS needs. So either way, I need a new pump.

I get so fed up with this car, if its not one thing, it's another. Even after the fuel issue is sorted out, I still need exhaust, a new swaybar, alignment, interior. A long list of expensive stuff. I just want to drive it!

at least I got my cold air intake done

it's a trimmed K&N intake for an '06 GTO also I flipped it to point to the passenger side

sometimes I wish that was an option but with the amount of money I've burned I could never sell it

I know how you feel. I get that way sometimes.
Good luck with the rest of your build.

I don't think putting the gas can in the nova will do it, you need to pour the gas into the tank too.

(sorry Mike, couldn't resist)

Intake looks good. Hoping you get this sorted out soon.

Sure you could. I give you $100 for it, and I'll come get it out of your hair. Tommorow. I'm serious.

The way that I phrased that, I was waiting for a comment like yours!

S.Humrich stopped by today to help me drop the fuel tank

I'll order the new fuel pump on Tuesday and hopefully be back in and running in about a week

Iv'e never been as far into a build as you have and I'm sure it's frustrating as hell.
But I'm just as sure that all will come out well in the end.
Best of luck wicked ride by the way it will be worth the trouble you're going through i'm sure.

Bet you wish you would of copied my tank set up. I can pull my pump in a few minutes.
