Re: New member with fuel delivery problem
Thomas - After 36 years (your age?) of driving my 1964 GMC 1500 that came from my father, I can report that fuel pumps do go bad, and some "new" fuel pumps seem to have been sitting on a shelf for years while their diaphragms are aging (sort of like what seems to have happened in my back). But another possibility that caused me to make nearly all of the changes you describe, because I thought it was fuel related (hard starting, loss of power, intermittent running), turned out to be failing points. Good luck! With regular maintenance and some rust prevention/repair attention, these trucks really do keep on working. Also, just driving the truck has not taught me much about how to fix it, but others in this forum are very knowledgeable and have been very helpful when I needed it.
