Dennis, interesting that they could be shaved! I doubt they are really bad, as was moved a couple times and for a while was off the ground. The tires were brand new with full tread... :(

I guess I wasn't clear due to dealing with health issues... I mean the idiot lights are not coming on.

I had the pump rebuilt by Adney, but once I put pressure it leaked massively. I actually found the fuel pump the other day, so hopefully I can send it back and see what can be done. If less than $50, then yes, defiantly will rather stay stock and pay a small business. However, if not, the Airtex e2000 is about the same diameter and will fit in the mount. Then a harness from the stock wiring to the lugs is made up and connected, plus new hose arrangement. Not a lot of work and reversible. The pump also has a limited lifetime warranty, but no information on what that means. (eye roll)


Thank you so very much!
Adriel
