24 valve P7100 swap
I'm going to run them at vp pressure now and see how it goes. I will either get the pop pressure lowered or I have a line on some of Smokem's 6x.013's.

Cab lights help?
I guess you can drill what ever size hole you want but that's what I use. I had led recons and replaced the led's with regular bulbs because they flickered alot. The stock orange are the brightest but I run the smoked pacer's now with standard bulbs and they are plenty for me.

Cab lights help?
I have had stock, recon and pacer and I like pacer better. They are priced good and good quality. Pull your headliner down and you will see the holes already in the cab, drill from the inside out with a 1&1/16 or 1&1/8 hole saw. I ordered mine from summit or jegs, whoever has the best price shipped, they are usually within a dollar or two of each other.

24 valve P7100 swap
Ended up having to work today so I didn't get much time to work on it but I did get the new lines mounted, the overflow valve in and my fuel filter housing mounted good enough for now. I have to work on the lines a bit because #5 and # 6 are touching a little at the very back where they loop around each other.[ATTACH]5703[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5704[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5705[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5706[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5707[/ATTACH]

Head stud install help
H1 and ARP are the top two brands but Mighty Diesel are a lot cheaper. I wouldn't want to skimp when it came to studs though so H1 will be my next purchase.

Bring it up here one day, my buddy that helps me a lot has a tractor shop and welders, he is also a pipefitter and pretty good welder.

It rained again today but I did get the pump permanently bolted on and the oil feed figured out. Tabbed the kdp while I was in there and got the pump timed. Put the 4k gsk in , modded the afc and ground my plate to about a 100. I will get the lines on tomorrow and should get the front end all put back together. Hopefully be on the road by the weekend at the latest.[ATTACH]5693[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5694[/ATTACH]

Fuel Cap Vented or not?
My fuel cap was busted so I replaced it and now when I open it to fill the tank, I get a big vacuum. My tank is not flat or bulged on the bottom but its kind of shrunk in a little, its been like that since I have had the truck though.

Got what I could done Sunday, figured how the pump mount went and got the t for the oil feed installed And got my newly re sealed vacuum pump mounted And last but not least, got my new purdy set on for the mean time I'm still waiting on fuel lines, my fass and the oil feed line and fittings. I want to give a big thanks to Eric at Vulcan for helping me on his own time today, I have not spent money with him in months an he has helped me more than other folks that have my money right now.

Adding more fuel
What over flow valve are you running?

24 valve P7100 swap
Have to pull the cam to get the gear housing that the pump mounts to off. You have to use a 12v housing because the mounting bolts are different between the vp and p7100. I would love to have got a new performance cam but it just was not in the cards now. I'm sure it will smoke more than I want but my vp did that too.

Got some more progress done today. Started at 6:30 this morning and came in about 6:30 this evening, I'm beat!Got some 1/2" dowels and ground the end off to a little point and jabbed them in the tappets, also used small hose clamps/ zip ties to be safe. Dropped the cam holder into the oil pan right off the bat, but was able to recover it with my tiny pen magnet and Jesus on my shoulder[ATTACH]5610[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5611[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5612[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5613[/ATTACH]I worked about 2 hrs scraping the old seal off the block and using my shop vac simultaneously so no junk fell in the pan. Got the p- pump gear housing on and put the cam back in[ATTACH]5614[/ATTACH]Got my rockers and push rods put back in, in the same spot they came out.[ATTACH]5615[/ATTACH] Got the 12v tappet cover on with new sealing washers, also pulled the stock lift pump and put a big block Chevy fuel block off plate over the whole that the stock lp covered.[ATTACH]5616[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5617[/ATTACH]Got the cover put on so no elements get to the insides while I wait on parts[ATTACH]5618[/ATTACH]
