Fuel Pump Excitement...
Never had such a problem putting the old fuel pump on as what I did today. The damn input/output ports on the pump were different than the old pump. And they had adapters in kit to change them, but the line running from the pump to the carburetor wasn't one that would take an adapter...so I put two together...and then I had a clearance problem. So after I threw the new pump on the ground and got pissed...I went back again and got the damn pump rod that's in the engine (Stupid ass Chevy designers who came up with that damn rod idea need to be shot. Put a loose rod in an engine that's coated with oil and has to be lifted up with an inch gap to get to it...brilliant...let's notch it the next time so there's a place to hold it and move it up)...
Got that taken care of and the car is running...but it's not running better...in fact it's worse and it died on me a couple times. But I'm going to buy a new line and make a new pump to carb. line and see if that doesn't help it.
Stopped by Leap Realtors and talked to Tawna for a bit. Loaned/Gave her my Accounting books so she can get some learnin' on that topic. Found out that I can actually contact her on her Nextel without being on her fleet...and without paying more. Which is nifty because I haven't had anyone worthwhile to talk to since I got the phone...
Had dinner with mom and then came home to work on some stuff...
