Fuel pump install
Figured since I got the new pump I would throw it in there...
And wow... doing it the right way sucks. 
The damn filler neck was always caught on something or other.
Took me an hour to drop the tank on the ground by myself... not bad, but damn...
Beer break, pump install and then back up in there...

Looking good!
I remember the first time I dropped the tank on my GN I just cut all the hoses, to find out those hoses were 5.00 a foot.
So much easier on a 56 Buick to drop a tank.

Yea, one word of advice, the straps that hold the tank up... when you take em off, be gentle and do not bend them at all. What a pain in the ass they were... ah well.
Car runs. No leaks. Success.

Give it some time. I wanna make sure this is correctly setup before I go spraying it.
Does any one else who run a walbro notice it being significantly louder than stock pump?

Nope, just as low as it sits when it hangs. Hard part was getting the body up high enough.
