Yeah Its Prob An Extra Inline Filter That Runs Between The Tank And The Pump. Its To Keep The Thick Stuff From Getting Into The Pump.

Sweet, i installed the fuel pump and she starts and runs perfectly, even had Nismopick drive it up and down the street while i videotaped it, man does it sound cool, should have the video online shortly i would imagine.

Just thought i would share the good news.

your terrible is driving, you should lit up them tires right by the fatty wtih the dog. something, terrorize the neighborhood. my first video is gonna be way sweeter lol. i think im gonna go do drugs now. drink alot, pop some pills with that and then try to work on my car. but yeah, your car now runs. so just atend the body and for gods sake, get some glass. and i want your front end, but for my year car.

also, idk why, but i expected it to be less populated and more mountanous. and haha, our snow is almost gone. expected 50 degrees come wed, hurray for spring break!
