After hitting the parts yard yesterday for both fuel pumps and a sending unit, one of the parents heading back from Nashville to Murfreesboro to pick up our baseball-playing sons gave me a lift to my car.

The problem ended up being brittle plastic insulators on the poles of the main pump. Big chunks had broken off creating a faulty connection. One of the rubber feet on the mounting platform was also broken off, which I'm sure didn't help. I replaced the whole platform.

I also went ahead and put in the replacement sending unit w/ in-tank pump. On start-up, I was pretty tense waiting for gas to make it's way to the injectors, but she finally fired up.

All in all, a couple of PITA days I'd rather not re-live anytime soon. Working on the brick alongside a busy highway doesn't hold the same attraction as the good old backyard! Jim
