P/Steering and fuel sending unit



Figures I finally broke down and ordered up a new power steering pulley. It cost $20. I hated to spend that  much but I just couldn't seem to come up with a used one. So, it came today and I could be installing it, but instead I'm sitting backstage listening to Zibigniew Brizinski [SP?] and typing email.I went to order the new serpentine belt I need to go with this project and it cost $35.00 Geez, I thought the $20 pulley was expensive!
After reading Frank Swygert's post about adapting Generic Sending units to Ramblers and since I want to modify one anyway I'm going to go that route. I want to change the pickup over to at least 3/8", 1/2"" if I can find tubing that is suitable. I've been looking at the EFI pumps and they all have oversize pickups. I'm thinking of running 1/2" from the tank to a good filter unit that will accept the 1/2" and flow well, then go into the pump and drop it down to 3/8" This will let the pump draw easier in theory. I know some people have had problems with short lived external EFI pumps. I want to try and make it more reliable.
First I want to get the thing actually fired up. 
I found an electrical connector I was missing for the back of my 94 Alternator and have to extend the CPS harness for the Advance Adapters CPS. Luckily I have a 95 harness with the correct connector on the end. So I'm going to pull 24" of wire out of the 95 harness with the connector then extend the harness with it. That way, if I ever need to swap out the CPS it can be done with a stock sensor for a 95 instead of needing to splice it in and solder it. Which is what Advance Adapters wants done, YUCK!
well, Back to listenig to the Zibignew and waiting to go home!
