Well back up and running with a new pump I didn't need. Turned out to be a break in the ground wire right at the connection by the pump. I now have three pumps, so should be good for awhile. Going to keep a continuity tester with me at all times now.

Me too!! I wish I would have figured it out on Saturday. I didn't have the proper testing equipment. The break was in a spot that couldn't be seen by eye.

Man I'm glad you got it squared away. That even makes a fella happier about the pump being more dependable. Rock on man!

Yep pretty happy overall with it right now. I had to try to get it over 1000 on egts. I do think my brake booster is getting weak. Wish I would have bought a zero loss when they were still available. I think I'm good on fuel pumps for awhile lol. Getting any closer to working on Clifford?

That is simply amazing on the egt front. It sure sounds like a good situation!
I am making decent progress on the stang. I'm hoping to sit engine and trans in this weekend. I hope to be back on clifford maybe beginning of November. I actually may go puddy some spots over at my buddies shop even sooner. We have been talking and he has the room now that I got the aod for his sons stang built and working well.

Good deal glad your going to do it. Cutting and buffing really does suck. There is zero fun in that for sure. That part is worth hiring out lol.
