Location: Connecticut | Nothing like waiting until the last minute. Were you planning to drive it back to NY or have it trailered ? I highly recommend trailering it so you can determine if the car has other problems (brakes, ignition, etc). Ron |

Using an electric pump to pull fuel to the engine compartment isn't ideal but it'd do in a pinch. |

Location: So. Cal | I recommend you purchase an adapter from Hotheads and just use the LA 318 pump with it. That is going to be the fastest and least problematic solution. Otherwise, do like Chizler says and mount an electric pump. |

| Spoke to Clark from Syracuse -- real nice guy with a massively busy schedule.... Had 1 last N.O.S. Carter M3261S which he is sending me a check on presently -----
and I might not even ship it to him --- he is trying to arrange making it to Chryslers @ Carlisle (Pa. ---- this coming week --- July 14th to the 17th) ----
in which case I will hand it to him and refund him the shipping in cash -- shipping becomes --- 0 ---- !!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone has any dealings with Clark from Syracuse, I can certifiably say he is a real nice guy ---- just be patient with his schedule.....
Good luck in making it to Chryslers @ Carlisle, Clark --- I'll talk to shortly either way, of course !!!!!!!!!!! Yours all, Craig ........ |

| Clark -- I've tried calling you and left a message -- I know your schedule is frequently crazy.....
If there is any difference at all --- Call me immediately -- let's confirm that it is correct --- or verify it is not correct -- BEFORE installation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Call me, any time, of course.................. Yours, Craig............... |
