Sorry I missed out on the festivities. Came home from work, yesterday, with stomach issues.
Looks like a good day.

Thanks for the pix. Wish I could've been there.

Thera-flu is having its hands full dealing with this bug of mine.
Buy stock in Lysol and Kleenex.
So far Brenda and Mike haven't got it from me.
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

For that extra piece of hose, it was not required on my Fiero, but I replaced all the fuel feed and return lines at the same time as the sending unit, pump, and filter.

 All we really had to do.........  the Vent line turned to the drivers side and we had to make a line a little longer, the OEM line turned towards the Pass. Side, not a big deal it just puts the Fill Hose and overflow hose in between the two different Angles. Knowing this may make better solutions. just bending the lines may be easy( With proper tube benders ) to different locations but will change hose legnth's an inch or so. I think the most simple thing is a long vent hose.  REMEMBER, VENT Hose Aka. air flow.

Because I was test driving it when it quit, they gave me the honor of starting it after the pump was in.  MikeMac was the one who got to pull it out of the stall and park it.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Is that as far as it was driven?  Someone will have to take it for a shakedown drive.

Yeah, that was all.  It was raining and late and everyone had gone home.  We did let it run long enough for the fan to come on. 

I am still concerned as to whether we have the evap vent and pressure return hoses connected to the proper tank lines.

Next thing on the list is to remove the last bolt holding that side scoop and replace it with the factory intake grill.  Then the front end links need to be replaced.  They are solid with no bushings and don't seem to be correctly attached to the control arms.

I tried to call you but your phone says it's not receiving calls.

I did have the new number, but I guess my phone has decided again that I don't need it. 

Here are some more pics from MikeMac.

Getting the pump and sending unit installed into the tank.
Left to right: Standing is GTXVette.  Squatting to the left of the tank is Fierofool.  Kneeling gray hair is DeShoe.  Blue polo is Sarge.  Standing gray hair is OldOne. 


Fierofool's yellow 86, Sarge's 86 school bus :), and DeShoe's 87.
