dave - i pulled the pump assemb. back out to drain another 5 gallons out of the tank and the ziptie is holding up like a champ so we should be good there.
tank is back up, hooked up, and wired up
new rear is in and bolted up but now i cant find the fuggin bolt that holds the y-block to the freakin dif!!!! so as soon as that's found the rear of the car is done
next step'll be torque arm and driveshaft, fluids, and we begine tuning
