<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>Wait till you try
re-hooking those GAS LINES on top of the tank! Ouch! That was the
<EM>worst</EM> of all operations!! Even on a car-lift, I just could not
get those AN-fittings rethreaded... wasn't tall or skinny enough to get in there
in the blind! Charlie Thrash had to end up coming to my assistance after 2
hours of frustrated failures. I don't know how I got those flare-nuts in
there and broke those things free, but putting them back is <EM>not</EM> going
to be nearly as easy!! And then trying to keep the fittings surgically
<EM>CLEAN</EM> while you're working in the blind under the car too!!!
Bring lots of cans of Gumout!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>You might do what I was
advised to do from the beginning and that is REMOVE THE ENTIRE TRUCK-BED prior
to beginning any tank surgery. I'm still ambivalent about the whole thing
even after going through the whole thing. If you're up to removing all
that harness and hardware-- good opportunity to replace body bushings with
polyurethanes-- and have plenty of thuggish help on hand, you might want to
consider this feat. Theoretically, you could do the whole pump R&R
<EM>from the top</EM> of the Tank and never have to undo one strap or shield--
or get anywhere near a car-lift. However, when you consider the
INEVITABILITY of fouling the Tank with all that DEBRIS....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>You might be lucky
enough to suction it all up from the top hole if all the chips are closely
<EM>localized</EM> within the center chamber. Mine were even in the outer
chambers! What a MESS!! If you're not lucky... like me...
<STRONG>you'll have to remove the whole tank anyway!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>All you will have
solved is the access-to-the-tank-top problem for reconnecting the gas lines,
where you can be <EM>sure</EM> you can do it quickly and dirt-free...
and without pulling your arms out of their sockets! And with all that
<EM>substantial</EM> extra work to pull and replace the bed, suspension, and
harness...?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>I don't think so.
Just <EM>suffer</EM> and take it like a man! And you won't need to tie up
your buddies' time either! Only on <U><EM>Trucks TV</EM></U> do they have
those fancy truck-bed lifts/cranes/cradles anyway....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hey Jeff</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From one owner of one of Chris Pearsons formerly owned truck to another,
the Walbro 255 is the choice. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can buy it from AutoPerformanceEngineering.com, around $110.
Ron Gregory is the person to talk to if you need help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some other advice... if you plan to do it yourself, just make sure you do
it on a near empty tank. ::thumbsup::<BR><BR> </DIV>

The poor thing barely runs. I'm pumping and pulling the tank
tomorrow. There was a lot of talk about Walbros in Feb. '05, but I'm
not planning on racing, except the occasional stoplight Grand Prix.
I'm leaning towards a Bosch replacement pump. Advice is
welcome.....particularly if it comes from the one and only serovilo,
grtyphoon, bullyhart, merk1993 or any of the other great contributors.<SPAN
