I like the idea of the sending unit with the return line in it and ready to go. Think that'll be the route I go. Or I'll make a round plate the same size as the vent valve and drill my hole in that for my return. So this blue pump is going to be louder than I'm used to and I'm fine with that...

So I'm installing a holley blue electric fuel pump and have a question about the return line I'm adding off my pressure regulator. When I dropped the tank I noticed there is a vent at the top of the tank that has been plugged off for a long time somewhere in the engine compartment. Can I use the...

Well 3rd time was the charm. Had another NOS gear box sent and it works perfectly again. So happy. I don't know what the problem was but it's good now. Even got to put 250 miles on it over the last few days. Now I just have the rest of the 500 oh so fun break in miles to go before I can drive it...

Ok so it won't "steer" by itself either way with the front end up. But I did notice fluid puking out the bottom at the selector shaft that the pitman is on. Appears to flow out nicely with each turn of the wheel. So obviously it's not holding pressure at all which makes sense why it's so easy to...

I'll do that test in the morning and report back

Yea im stumped too. Before I sent off the saginaw box and pump to be rebuild, everything worked just fine, just leaked a bit. But since I just dumped $20k in parts over the winter I figured I may as well do the steering box and pump. After the reinstall is when shit went wrong. Only thing that...

Ok I'm having a blantons and cooling off... Had another box sent to me in 2 days, which was nice, and was told it was completely went thru and looks great. Wasn't expecting it that fast. Of course I couldn't wait to put it in so I could put more break in miles on it. Bled the shit out of it...

I just got off the phone with Roger and he said to send it back and he'll send me one that is redone and clean and swap me. Hopefully it comes to me soon. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all the replies!!

Ugh yes..I took the steering box back off and made sure the pitman arm was centered left to right. And I made very sure that the rag joint was on correct with the large pin upwards. Bled the shit out of the pump too. Same damn result. Car in the air and it turns perfectly lock to lock. Put it on...

Just got home from work and gonna dive right in. Thanks for all the advice, I'll report back in a bit. Fingers crossed

Roger Rode rebuilt it for me. He said everything checked out great before he sent it back to me. And I believe him. He knows his stuff. I wonder if I screwed up something putting it all back together but for the life of me I can't figure it out. The rag joint is in great shape so I know that...

Thanks for all the quick replies. I just wanna drive the damn car and enjoy all my hard work from the winter. The only thing I did was pull the pump and gear box and send them out. Last year I had replaced literally everything else other than those 2 things. And it drove and steered just fine...

Ok so my 71 mach 1 is having steering issues I just can't figure out and I'm beyond frustrated. I sent my pump and saginaw box off to be rebuilt. They weren't bad but since I spent over $20k in parts alone, I figured I may as well send them off to be refreshed. Got the pump ans gear box back and...

I have a 71 Mach 1 that is going through some major upgrades and I’m wanting to replace the entire wiring harness. I don’t really have many electrical issues but since I have the motor and interior all out, no better time than now to replace all of the wiring.  I’ve been searching everywhere and...
