    :bananaman FINALLY!!! I finally took the time to install a new (bigger/better/quieter) fuel pump in the BACK by the tank. Works great! The thing is so quiet, I forget it is on. Haven't had ANY fuel problems since the install. THANKS EVERYONE!! I really appreciate all of you who offered advice and ideas on my problems!! Thanks a whole lot!! Preston(y)

    Glad to hear the news, Preston.

    The next time you get frustrated at it (like that'll ever happen again), remember that
    perserverance pays off! (y)

    Now when I say bigger/better/quieter, I mean compared to the pumps I have had. This pump is made by "M" MASTER fuel pumps. It does everything I need it to. Haven't had a problem as of yet- and I have run it pretty hard for prolonged periods. I don't think that it even comes close to the Holley Blue, but I could be wrong. I don't know the flow specs on it, but I will try to find out. Till next time......Preston
