well you had better luck than i did ordered power steering pump was one of there close outs no core required about 65.00 when it arrived it looked like someone had installed it or it was a core return.i emailed them about it they asured me it would be fine.I took off a better one then the one from rock auto did not work at all.No replacement on close out parts.

well steve you were right there is a+ and - on top of the pump had to put my reading glasses on to see it lol that what's happens when you get 50+ I bought the pump from turbo tweak when the bad batch came out was scared to use it.So I sent it back to eric and mike from ft sent me another one? I think eric was out I don't know for sure if it was bad,but didn't want to take a chance so it was replaced with another pump just got around to installing it.switched wires at the pump all is good now I just hate doing things twice.
thanks again

Maybe you can help me?I replaced my factory fuel pump with a walbro 2000169 the connector was different at the pump on the walbro so i cut the connector on the factory one laid the pumps side by side rewired the new pump (2 wires black and white)
apond starting the car the pump ran backwards but the fuel gauge worked so instead of droping the tank I switched the wired at the connecter now the pump works fine and the gauge don't work any ideas??

Talking safety I've run a moble crane 28 years.The bull shit we have to go through  just to set up and make a lift on a job site have so greatly changed it's almost unbeliveable.y ou have to have a prelift meeting with distances. working load limits, degree calulations of boom angle. max lift  capasity, persentage of max capasity of the crane per lift.I get tickled these young educated collage safety guys have know idea of the actual operation of the crane just what they have read.I allways tell them the only thing they need to know is about that one main lever.they say what lever is that? I say leave her alone.

rosewood, when I bought the car it was black never dawned on me someone did a color change on it. and i didn't bother to ask.  flew out to az to pick up.On the ride from the airport the seller and I was discussing differerent turbo cars we had owned when I saw the car for the first time I had to laugh I realized all the cars he was talking about was the same car with 5 paint jobs and 3 different colors LOL! I've restored cars for 30 years so the paint was the least of my worries took 200 single edge razor blades to get it down to the factory weather checked paint.
