Damn dude. There's a poltergeist running around screwing with folks who have '99 hoes. I just blew the valve guides in my K5. Yay.

haha. well the rest of it went really well other than getting the stupid filler hose back on. things a PITA.
carrier and pump came right out, got the pump switched over to the new carrier, and back in it went. strainer on the original was nasty, but it was all still GM factory parts. made it to just over 175,000 miles. (pump is still going) new tank breather things went right in without any problem, cut all the new hose to size, hell the wiring harness was even factory spec, no splicing, no ********. that tank is one TIGHT fit in the 2-doors. had to wedge it back up with the floor jack, new strap bolts.
drove it once and filled her back up. so far no gas leak. got a few pics of the carrier and the pump assemblies, the assembled tank, and other misc i'll put up sometime soon.
get to pick up the radiator for the IROC in the morning, hopefully i don't hit any snags with that.

well it was doing great until the pump shit out on me last night about a quarter mile from the house. $70 tow charge. new Delphi pump went in it this afternoon. took about an hour and a half to drain all 30 gallons back out of it and about an hour to drop the tank and change the pump. Greased the shit out of the fittings to hopefully keep them from getting like they were if i ever have to drop it again.

Make dern sure you're getting proper current to the pump. Just don't blow yourself up. That's frowned upon here.

no i ended up not replacing the pump, just put it in the new carrier. (needed the $ for the camaro's radiator) it just came back and bit me in the ass a day and a half later.
