Small update... Although, my M1123 fuel system isn't perfect, I've started to think that my fueling problem comes from the dual lever brake switch in my truck.
I actually tested my lights against a wall and figured out that my brake lights come on way too late.
This is either from a contact problem, or out of adjustment problem.
Looking at it, I decided it could handle some slight adjustments.
For example, the mounting set up doesn't look very robust. A few hard hammers on the brake and I truly feel like it might have some give on that switch mount set up.
That being said, I decided to shim the front section and use my ol trusty mallet, with a few well placed whacks to see if I could place it further from the firewall.
Definite success (I dont feel like the torque converter is staying locked in gear, while at a traffic light anymore)... But, I still feel like this switch is living on borrowed time. Plus, I still don't like the mount set up, or the rod push clip.
Got all the windows in, finally. Sadly, I dropped the rear window through and onto the bed, trying to get it sealed. So, I have a few scratches that will need attention. But, it isn't too big of a deal. The truck is finally warm.
Plus, I found some 2.5 hvac style tubing at Oreilly. I will use some exhaust wrap and use it for my engine section heater crossover tubing. Certainly did it for less than $65+, so every bit helps.
That is about it for now. Just small hose leaks that need attention, mostly because I tighten things fairly gently, without listed torque specs.
Soon enough, I'll report the 1k update and do some small inspections. Thanks again, everyone.
