02-08-2012, 01:50 PM #2I changed out mind. But..... I broke the center bolt on the botton on the driver side like a dumb ass. So I cut the top off the new on and just installed the botton. But I still getting staking when in drive and a low rpm (~1k) when like at a stop light. Could it be trans mounts?

617.952-220k-Getting built up
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

02-10-2012, 03:10 AM #7I think some sort of a hood or something over the mounts would be good for keeping fuel off of them, somebody should design one and report back here lol

02-10-2012, 03:13 PM #9I was thinking more along the lines of a pop can cut in half length wise and then shoved down over the thing and zip-tied/wired into place
