Facebook has good deals on stereo systems every now and then. I picked up a stereo, cassette player, 50 disc cd player, equalizer, cabinet, and 2 tower speakers for $150.Fun fun...
Gold star for Oreilly's! New on left, old on right.
I can kinda see why the sender was flaky. As far as cleaning it the contact board is like part of the plastic as in I can't actually feel the metal. Pump is shot anyway and the contact assembly looked a lot better on the wrong pump.
Went back into town and it was the same crap I get to deal with anywhere.
"well the only other pump I show is a Delphi, it is another $60 and it is a special order so freight will be an extra $20 and it is a week out"
Me having already looked it up on my phone before I left the house:
"How about the same part number as this one but ending in 35?"
"Ok, that one also fits, is $10 cheaper than what you are returning and I can have it Wednesday"
Only reason I went with them is the lifetime warranty and they are everywhere in case it lays down on me on the road. Which leads me into my next deal.
One thing that has always made me queasy with these aftermarket in tank pumps... if they die you are dead right there if you can't thump it back to life. And it is a rather messy affair to swap the pump on a whim.
Well the old Holley pump hasn't missed a beat since its one glitch, I kinda wonder if it had a piece of something it or something. So when i redid the wiring to switch back to a in tank pump I put a connector on the wiring going to the in tank pump... and on the Holley perched on the frame. So if the in tank conks out on the road I cut the hoses and switch them to the Holley, plug the wiring into it and keep going. Maybe to the hotel parking lot, maybe back home. I like having that fallback/spare for something so critical.
I need to run a new ground for the pump and switch the fuel lines around yet... but I got until Wednesday.
I need to research a better speaker setup but it is so nice to have music in the garage. And not just background noise but something fun to listen to. We found this station out of Toledo on our way to the 20th and it has had a home on my Iheart thing ever since. Commercials are not bad and good music.
Both my helper and I enjoyed it, "Pickup Man" came on which is one of his favorites... of course he didn't help much today because he had something pretty serious going on over there.
