Here's something to not do.

[t.flatt]

Yeah the pump is far cheaper than the HP manifold to replace too
either of them sucks thou, both of you guys, it sad it happens...
Muphy's Law, what can break, will...
And going with a better part is always my option
when replacing stuff, unless it's an OE resto, which I won't do anymore,
it's just not worth it...

Day 2 baby...

Yeah, my plan of an OE restoration is changing! Different fuel pump, Stealth heads, no tag on my distributor (oh, no!!!) or the fender for that matter. And a brand new Powermaster starter showed up in the mail today!
