Wow. Ya gotta wonder about previous owners sometimes.

Ok truck is FIXED !!! yeah !!

I ordered the summit brand black pump , pretty much the Holley black minus $60.
put the pump in and my pressure regulator gauge went to 15psi so had to crank it down to 7psi .
glass fuel filter has the typical air pocket in top corner but gone are the little air bubbles coming from the inlet hose.
took her out for the test drive and all is smooth again no bog down .
while i was at it I installed the Lokar trans kick down cable kit . i got 2 weeks ago. The Lokar kick down cable is a great product , very easy to install .
