Also I found that saturday was the 6 year anniversary of the day I bought the wagon, so I cannot imagine having spent a better day with it on our anniversary lol.

155 trouble free miles including a several hour trail run.

Glad to see your rig putting around the ole Hamp! I'll definitely drop you a line next time I'm back home visiting the family.

Fuel injection is awesome! Had a blast this weekend. Pics and video to come.

Well so far around town its running strong on the roads and highways. I'm not super pleased with the idle (i believe this is more ignition related than EFI related) and it does some weird stuff on cold starts but i'll get it sorted out. I'm about to head out on a 150 mile camping trip...

I'm pretty stoked about the alternator rewiring. The 13.06 volts wasnt enough to give a high energy charge to the battery, so no wonder it would get weak fast. Also, everything is set up now for when I upgrade the alternator.

I drove it into town today and it was pretty much fine. Idle is a bit weird but I assume its learning and its going to feel a bit different in general. I realized for some reason the little nipple on the gas tank wasnt venting, and it was letting out a big woosh every time i opened the gas...

So, was getting low voltage while cranking., mostly because the battery had sat for weeks, been cranked over a bunch, etc. Charged it, then charged it on my dakota with jumper cables for about half an hour. Seems to have alleviated the issue. I'll check back tonight after it has sat to see if...

Tank is in. Fuel lines from union/filter to TBI are mocked up and measured for cut. regulator mounted. Got tired and went in for dinner before making those cuts. Will do it today. Hope to have everything 100% plumbed by the end of the night, and hope to drill o2 sensor hole. (yes, that all...

sad to see this little thing come to an untimely end after the work you put in....oh well onward and upward. you'll be better off with the yota.

I know it doesn't look like much but its getting there. All wires are run now, dropped and removed old tank and fuel pump, removed the lines I need to use again, I removed even MORE superfluous wiring for accessories, made all the leads for the power and ground, made all the fuel lines, mounted...

when am i gonna meet this thing? Are you planning to attend the trip at the end of the month to gold lake 4x4 campground?

Why does living in VA equal a rusty tank?

That thought had crossed my mind as well, and i think the tanks instructions said to actually mount it pointed side to side in the tank, which is not an option due to my baffle. Due to the location of the baffle it seems like there is little to no concern with losing fuel while point DOWN hill...

Step one is mostly complete. 4.5" hole cut into the tank. Then I hammered down the raised parts to get the mounting flange to sit flush. Need to do some final massaging and smooth out the cut but most of it is done.

I'm glad we were able to make this all work out. You know how to get ahold of me when you have questions or when you realize how crazy we all are for working on the FSJs....but if you're a scout guy im sure you already get that!

Well. Successful weekend. Gonna keep a long story short. The 74 is off to a new home in very capable hands. It will live again and hopefully be back on the road for years to come, which is what I really wanted. I let it go in trade for an MSD Atomic EFI system with all the accoutrements...

no kidding huh? Sad thing is I'd probably rely on it as a backup way more often than is acceptable.

I think you'll enjoy living in the hamp. It's beautiful

I was thinking that same thing and was all zooming in to look
