I'll try to keep this brief and answer any questions as folks might ask them going foreword.


I have owned a 1989 1 ton 4X4 GM van for many years (love the thing), the 350 was never a cheap date when it came to fuel. It's on it's way out so I purchased a 1989 truck with a 6.2 to replace the gas engine.

That truck ran very well when parked two years ago, the batteries went dead and fuel soured so I wasn't able to just fire it up to run on occasion. So it's been a while since it ran, I finally have time to do the transplant and I thought getting it running in place before pulling it would be helpful.


That's the preamble, now for getting to know a 6.2.

This must have a electric fuel pump as there is a cover where the mechanical pump would be, I'm looking for a proper fuel line so I can pull it and get some fresh fuel to the engine.

(I have a couple new batteries to work with now).



First question: I have been thinking this model engine was pretty much mechanical, please tell me there is a way to operate this without a ECU?
(All kinds of electronic doodads I'm seeing).



Second question:
Where is the fuel line going into the injection pump?
(Sounds like a stupid question but I can't see a thing way down in there).



I am new to diesels, save the work I have done on my old tractor.
Any help or suggestions on this project will be most appreciated.


Thanks very much in advance folks.
