Well, pump showed up at 8am this morning but too bad I ordered the wrong one...

The one I ordered was for the 94-95 Mustang which has a larger outlet fuel line on the hat than the Fox.

Time to wait for shipping again, ugh...

Everyone has the replacement pumps but no one carries the hanger...

Got to Summit only to find out that their computer was wrong and they DID NOT have the pump that I wanted. They did have an Accel 255lph pump and hanger that retails for $220 vs the stock replacement at $140.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ACC-75705/

Getting pissed pays off. They cut me a break on the Accel pump and was out the door for $160.

THE CAR IS ALIVE!!! Not at first though. I forgot to plug in the fuel pump at first and **** my pants when I didnt hear it prime up, lmao. Even the 255lph is quieter than the old pump, lol...

Finally got the car legal and put some miles on it last night. I picked up an IAC and reset the idle but it jumped back up over night. Going to pick up an ECT sensor then reset the idle again. Need to upgrade the shocks and struts too. They just are not keeping up with the drop springs at all...

Tires are scheduled for delivery today so hope to get them installed and the alignment done today...

Tires and alignment are done. Taking the car back though as with every alignment I've ever received the tech can not get the damn steering wheel straight on the first try. It appears that my exhaust leak was the collector but I think my 1/2 breaker bar was enough to force them to stop, lol.

It was quite apparent that the stock shocks were not up to the challenge of the pro-kit springs so I ordered a set of Tokico HP shocks and struts. Got those put on yesterday and it is night and day vs the stockers. Really enjoying them.

Got home after a 20mi drive only to find that my passenger side window motor finally decided that it wasn't going to go up anymore so heading back to laurel mountain mustang today for a new window motor, lol...
