hey guys,
so my fuel pump took a sh*t this week, and so in efforts to keep it cheap and quick, i went over to the nearest auto zone and bought the generic matching fuel pump, part # 40963 from airtex.
it resembles my old broke fuel pump to the T, so i went with it. disconnected the hoses, took off the old pump, but for the life of me couldn't get the L shaped fitting off, that attaches to the carb line... it was frozen stuck with no hope, i tried everything humanly possible, and finally bent the poor sucker in half...
SO, i figured how hard could it be to find a proper fit for that little inlet? well... apparently very hard. i took a trip to two more pep boys, an auto zone and a home depot to look for the fitting, and got nothing... at one point the guy even pulled an identical fuel pump, found a 3/8 fitting, i bought it, brought it home, and IT DIDNT FIT MY SAME FUEL PUMP. i almost lost it... i don't know if its different threading, or its 5/16 or whatnot, but I'm sure you guys know of a simple solution?!
what goes in this hole?! :yell:
