Bus looks solid, I am going through the same thing with mine, just sent my injectors out. How long has this bus been sitting? My gas was "Turpentine Red"
My plan is to replace all the fuel, vacume and evap hoses and fire it up and see how it runs. The bus sat for 2 years. I don't think much fuel was left in it. I have good flow out of the tank to the pump.

Is that why we had such a hard time pushing that thing onto the trailer? Keep the pics coming Ted.

No pics yet, but the beam is in. Started mounting the trailing arms and have the uppers all in. Tomorrow I will install the lowers, spindles, tie rods and the remaining undercar parts. Plans are to pull motor when that is completed.

Wish I was up that way, could help out and soak up some of that experience!

Here it is sitting correctly in the front. Starting to look much better.
