After sitting dormant all last summer, and fall, and winter, I had to buy another battery to even crank the car. I got a new battery for it and fired it off. I had to add a bit of air to the ET Streets, then I started down the road. Everything was fine........and then it stumbled and died. Fuel system. Pump works, but either the foam or lines or something have broke down from the stinking ethanol in todays pump gas and it is starving for fuel or clogged up at the filter or regulator. I limped it back and parked it. :(

The plan: pull fuel cell, filter, lines, and regulator. Replace fuel cell with sumped factory tank (already have), replace canister style filter with inline style before pump and after pump filters, replace braided line with teflon lined braided line, and replace old regulator with Aeromotive regulator I bought from 5door. I'll disassemble the carb and clean it out and inspect for good measure. I don't know when all of this will take place, but that is the plan.

After 3yrs of being apart finally fired it back up. Now For sum re-wiring and updates and she will be back on the track. I forgot how good that full exhaust sounded.
