So, I got new fuel lines and mounting screws from AutoZone today. Installed new lines up front to replace the cracked, aged originals and used the rest to put the fuel pump in a little bit better location in the trunk. Got it all installed, cleaned up and ready to test. I left the ground wire disconnected so I could turn the filter on and off right there in the back. I may install a switch for that at some point, although I can't see why I'd need it once I get it working.

So I flipped on the ignition, ran to the back and touched the ground wire to ground, the pump pumped away and filled up the glass filter...and then the glass filter leaked everywhere. WTF. I guess that it was already leaking, but with the mechanical pump pulling thru it, there was no leak. With the electronic pump pushing thru it, definatly a leak. So I need to get a new one. Will do tomorrow. Think I'll get some more line so I can run new lines in the trunk as well.

Haven't heard from the wheel dude. Shipping info hasn't populated on UPS's site yet. I'm a little worried, but not really. He was so honest and his ebay feedback was killer. Terror alert level 2.
