Dang that sucks. Do you have a base tune you can ride around on?

Unfortunately no. Just have to let it sit there and look at it lol. Fuel gauge is messed up with the walbro pump assembly in there. The little copper pieces on the float arm assembly musra have not had good contact. Gauge was reading full when only have 5 gallons in it, so I dropped it again to try and adjust them and one broke off. Soldered a piece of wire to it to try and get the gauge right and it's still screwed. Might just leave it for now and just get me a aviator pump and throw it in the stock hat/basket assembly I took out, I know the float was good on it

It runs and pump is fine. Gonna just set the trip and not go further than 200 miles without filling it up again. Gonna see if I can get another little plastic piece with the contactors on it.

High five for amazon! Emailed them yesterday morning about 330 am about my gauge not working with my new pump and had an email back from them by 415 am that a new one was on its way next day air! Got it today and it is perfect! The copper pieces for the float are in perfect shape and the arm came already mounted on this setup! Headed to FL for vaca tomorrow, so next week I will be getting the new one swapped in and be calling the tuner that following monday!

Talked with my tuner today and will be taking the car down Saturday for him to look over real quick and if he doesn't see anything that needs taken care of I will be leaving it to get tuned hopefully next week!

I don't, I wasn't there when he did the dyno. I'm just finishing wiping the car down now. I'll try and take one of it starting and reving up. Know the best way to post a video? Ive never posted one before
