Par for the coarse!!!

Hello all, Well, after reading through just about all of these forums and following all the advise that was logical and reasonable and also due to a generous donation of a shut off solenoid, my truck runs and drives better than it ever has! It drives like a new truck! I replaced the Champion GPs that I just installed with motorcraft, installed new return lines, orings, fittings and clamps, removed the stock air cleaner and replaced it with an open Edlebrock air cleaner w/K&N filter. wired a direct momentary switch to the GPs, bypassed the firewall mounted water seperator and replaced a seized fan clutch. She runs like a top!!! First day back on the road and BANG! A teenager in daddys new PT cruiser slams into the left side of my rear bumper. Think someone is trying to tell me something??? Not much left of the PT cruiser!!! Thank you everyone for all your help and advise and thank you wh336fire (Harold) for the solenoid!

Scott.

Sorry about your misfortune. Just when it was running right. Think how bad the kid feels when daddy is done. The main thing is nobody was hurt.
