so after spending about 4 hours in the garage today my brother in law and i did a lot but encountered a lot! so this weekends plan was the following:
get the shifter installed correctly
gas tank installed
fuel line ran
belt for water pump and alt
dash harness
I got 1.5 out of the 5 done. We got the gas tank and popped out the old sending unit not a big deal. put in the new sending unit no problem. we picked up the tank and it sounded like a rock or something was in it! we shook the tank and couldn't figure out what it was. Called a friend and asked if it was normal. we couldn't even see it! finally i said screw it lets see if can see it. and we must of rocked it for like an hour!
Finally after playing with it enough we got it to get it loose from what ever it was stuck on and we rocked it and we jumped for joy when we finally saw it roll by in the tanks. We finally got it to stop right in front of the hole for the sending unit! we pulled it out and it was a broken part from the old sending unit! we shook the tank for about another good 10 mins and no more sounds! we flushed it out to make sure nothing else was floating around in there and we found nothing!

that was the .5 of what we got done. the other thing we got done was installing the shifter! man what a pain in the butt for someone who has never done it before! but after many google searches and finally finding a picture of it on chevy hardcore and following the instructions i sat in my car and i was able to bang on all 5 gears! 1-4 and R i was so happy i almost cried...lol
