@oil pan 4. Thanks for the tip on the electric fuel pump! I'll do that once I start working on it again. The block is a j-code so I assume that there was no ERG on it. For your 84 burban, how did you get 20mpg? Does a turbo increase fuel efficiency? I know it produces more power per fuel but if you take a non-turbo vs turbo will an engine with turbo consume more fuel?


As for cranking the thing, what should I do first? What would be my order of operations starting form where I am right now? Do I need to bleed the system if we never removed the heads?

Should I replace the injectors and glow plugs? I also got recommended to make a manual electric override for the glow-plugs where I use a relay to send electricity to the glow plugs, but if I get special ones that limit themselves then they won't burn themselves out.
