Finished the install of the electronic fuel pump tonight. Well, almost. Just needed to get the wiring right. Still need to do the ground wire in the trunk, but I have no screws! And I wouldn't mind mounting it to the chassis with something. That'd be good.

Put on the rebuilt carb as well. Removing the old fuel pump from the chain means I need a longer fuel hose...so off to the auto-parts store tomorrow to get some lengths of hose. I need to re-do all the rubber lines anyway, they're hard and cracked. I am kind of surprised how dull the thing is. I was expecting it to come out all shiny and polished looking. Guess my expectations were too high. Karl said that a good buff would do the trick, I think he's right. I need to get a dremel and polish that bitch up. BUT, what is it called, patina?, will be lost in that process. Eh, when I have extra time.

Bout it. My project comes along well. I need to find out if the pump is the right fuel pressure before I go flippin it on...don't want a fire. But other than that, I'm good to go. I hope to have her fired up by tomorrow! No word on the wheels yet, but I hope to see them soon.
