Shouldn't take you more than two weeks.

LOL... 70 year old fat man doesn't move so fast anymore..
Looked like it was easier to get to the fuel pump from the bottom as the serpentine belts make it difficult from the top... Remember this is a Mechanical pump....
Since I am going to prep the car for wherever I take the sub frame connector weld job, I thought I would wait until I got it back up on the Race ramps and do the fuel pump then... Got that done this AM. I hope to put a good week into this as its supposed to be a bit cooler this week in Sunny Florida...

Aahhh, no they don't!!
they need to be tucked up a little tighter to the bottom of the fender and bumper cover.
then they would be better than the shiny pee shooters.

That would definitely help but if the tail pipes could be pulled up about an inch along the length of them and then the tips trimmed like you are talking g about it would look on point. And that is literally just my opinion which is worth about zilch in most instances.

I finally broke down and replaced the factory exhaust with the mandatory flow master cat back Super 44’s which I love - except inside the car ! I had to make one clean cut behind the exhaust because I’m working on jack stands. Anyway the metal is perfect, including the polished ends.
( pea shooters )
If you can use them PM me

I might let you walk around with a huge booger on your face and not tell you (that would be funny).


Nothing funny about those tail pipes tho

You need to get the gassy oil out ASAP or things like this will happen.......................

Later on as you start driving it and notice any loose sounding rocker arms or loose valvetrain components just know this is where the sound will b emminating from......

Good Luck and get yourself a wideband controller too as it will help keep your engine in tune...............
