Re: IML: Its Alive!!!!!

Thanks Roger,
The fuel pump that was on the car was give out. It started pumping 
yesterday for about 30 min and then nothing. I found another old one it a 
box I had, I put it on and it filled the gas bowl up real fast and I thought 
I was home free. Well, now I know why I had that one on the shelf. It to ran 
for about 30 min and the gas quit running to the fuel bowl on the carb. I 
ordered a new fuel pump Saturday and can put in on tomorrow after work. The 
engine sounds really good after setting Idle for so long. It run for about 
30 min and the temp gauge never did go over the I on Temp. Thanks for the 
tips....

Tim
56 Imperial
