lol, it came that way...? I've never touched it so not sure.

Ordered a new set of tires today, the cheapest new set that I could find with an acceptable wear rating. Nankank NS1's for $320 shipped in 245/45/17. I remember my 1st set of Kuhmos were $400 + shipping 11 years ago and that was the cheapest that I could find. Get what you pay for but all I can afford...

I hate waiting for parts to show up...

ouch, that stinks. Could have picked up a pump at Laurel Mountain Mustang when I was down there picking up the tank and straps. I wanted to replace the hat that holds the pump too as the old one was rusted too bad and I didn't want to put a rusty **** into a clean tank. Summit sells a stock replacement pump including the hat for $140. Best price by $50-$60 as most are selling just the hat for $100.

Good news is that the pump out on the truck for delivery today, wahoo! She will be on the road tonight! (as long as there isn't anymore unexpected hick-ups, lol)

yeah yeah, stock pump ftl...

Bunch of reasons that I settled on the stock replacement pump, let me rehash: 1. broke, 2. divorce, 3. needed the hat, 4. broke, 5. $50-60 cheaper than upgrade + the hat, 6. motor is stock...

If I didn't need the car on the road right now, I would have waited till I had the cash to do the upgraded pump. Stock will work fine for now...
