It seems that no matter how much we try, Murphy is always going to nail us all some how, way, shape, or form. After 4 months of starting up a running to allow the body shop to run the car in and out without having to push it. The car picks the day it is to come home for the starter to go haywire. Then while it is in for that the mechanic matches the old fuel pump which is leaking against the new one which is the after market one that folks out here are saying is the correct one and lo and behold there are some differences. First it is quite a bit smaller, enough so that the mechanic has doubts that it will feed 2 thirsty 4 bbls. Secondly, the mounting holes are smaller and would have to be drilled. out in order for the mounting bolts to go thru. So my question is this. This newer after market product, was it only for the 352 and should it not be the same as the 374? Other than that, it looks great. I will hopefully add more photos to the website as soon as I can.
