I had my car in the Middle East in Qatar for the first 17 years. Boy did I get familiar with this routine. I used to stand outside my kids' school pouring water down the driver's side of the engine...

So, I loaded up the parts canon and let fly. I ended up with a winner between my stock coupler, the Ames piece and the Dorman rebuild kit. I ended up with the wrong size disk Dorman but that was OK...

I'm pretty sure I know what knocked out the link. I accidentally shorted the positive for the alternator briefly when I was unbolting the power steering pump. I had an inline fuse on one of the other...

What Is The Low Down On Carter Muscle Car Fuel Pumps

1971 Trans Am

I know there's all sorts of better options for when you need more fuel. I know I'd be better off with an in-tank electric, full size return and so on. I know RobbMc makes these big...

Diamond have a nice catalog online and seem to stock some Pontiac items as well as have a pretty comprehensive custom order form. Not the cheapest of course.

I've had the BFGs, the Cooper Cobras and now since the last year and a bit these Vitours. I rate the Coopers above the BFGs. But the Vitours are on another level.

You know, it's one of those products I'm surprised no one has made. If I ever went to an in-tank pump I'd want a fuel pressure regulator in a mechanical pump housing. I'd bolt it to the side of the...
