Hola Judd

I will address the Cooling Part.

Stop at NAPA and ask for the # 271-303 Thermo
Silicone Fan Drive. Why ... because it fits
your engine ... Stops using power to operate
by 1,500 - 1,600 RPM's and if all gets to being
wrong from over heating, it will Lock Up to
turn the Cooling Fan.

The "I do not know why" driver may use the
Silicone Fan Drive instead of the Thermo Design.

The needed Cooling Fan can be found on any
1980 or newer GM or MoPar ar the pick & pull
for under $10. Do Not get one from a serp
belt drive.

If your Fan Shrould was removed, put it back
on.

Do not waste your funds on the electric unit.

MANUEL fuel pump?
Is that a mexican that rides shotgun and has a push pull pump? Or does he just dump it in the line from a bucket?

The mechanical fuel pump is adequate for daily drivers, the electric fuel pump is mostly use along with a regulator so that when at the track you can adjust the pressure so that the enginge doesn't starve for fuel at the end of the 1/4 mile

I think there are plenty of folks out there running a mechanical pump on the 1/4 mile... depends on the pump capability. Mechanical pumps contribute to parasitic drag since they are run off the cam, where electrical pumps draw electricity only... but the trade-off for a street truck is noise. The noise depends on the type of pump, too. MANUEL recommends the stock original for quiet operation and affordability so he can catch some Z's to and from work.

Manuel can't sleep in my truck I can't hear the pump over the motor, can you?

[Camo]

I cant hear the pump over the motor either. Nothing like the sound of a v-8. Tastes good and full of vegetables too.

On the street, mostly stock motor, clutch fan and mechanical pump every time.

Yes, thats true but they aren't the stock ones
