Re: SRL311-02855
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. 3 months I think
Was getting a little more bucking than usual. Filter easy. Shocked!
Removed the fuel sender today and checked out the inside. Looks good. Reinstalled.
Beautiful day in the Skagit valley. 90 miles. Added 5 gals of ethanol free. No bucking on the return drive. Also drove 10 miles on I-5 in 5th @3200 rpm!

Re: SRL311-02855
No idea. Picked the car up after returning from Shedd late August. Fuel hoses and clamps look "newer", so I assumed not too old. I will likely add another after the pump. I try to change out the one before the pump every year in most cases.

Re: SRL311-02855
Thanks, Yeah the lefts get a little sooty after awhile These werent too bad. The gaskets were crumbling. I polished the outside of the lenses as the insides looked pretty good. I swapped out 1 chrome housing.
It drives SO nice with the 16s and the 5sp.
Big thanks to Sports Imports for a couple of better rings and Stretch (Paul) for the gaskets.
Gas cap door repair and filler alignment next.
Side trim and side badges also need some tlc.
