Pete 359 fuel issue

I tossed my old secondary fuel filter Assy. I went with a spin on type. At lot less headaches . My old fuel line did laps around truck frame. Ounce I removed old lines and shortened them the old kitty cat purrs.

 

Most of these trucks came with a Kaiser engine protection system. The early ones had an override button the later ones didn't. The box is what powers fuel shutdown soleniod. The Kaiser box was mounted behind the center panel under the vents. Its possible the shutdown box went bad and a little late night wiring by a trucker turned electrician out of nesscessity used the gauge switch to bypass it. I agree it shouldn't affect it but don't rule nothing out on one that old

 

If you have fuel flow. And power to your fuel selenoid. It should run. You should be able to hear solenoid click when it gets power.

 

Gonna check my truck for that shut down box. I have an 83 362

 

It should have it. Unless it went bad and was wired around. It is 3x3 square maybe and pretty thin. It will have power in, ground and load circuits also a signal circuit from oil pressure switch and temp sendor. The oil pressre switch is mounted on the inner firewall behind steering wheel. Just eyelets on wires with maybe 3/8 nuts.

 

What did you find out on fuel issue. Thinking it was are fuel line gone bad. During new clutch install.
