    Ok so first objective is to take a look at the fuel pump and connections. It looks like there is an electric motor for the pump. What's the best way to get rid of it and get a mechanical pump? Any particular replacement pump I need to look for or extra parts? What's all involved? Thanks guys...

    They aren't sure exactly which way it's going yet, but if it stays southern towards the gulf and stays on the same track as Harvey when it hits it will be a strong cat 5. Harvey was just a 4 when it hit corpus and Houston. Can't imagine. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    I finally have a jeep. 1950 willys Cj3a. It will need some work. It wasn't as clean and well oiled as claimed to be. But all in all I still felt it was worth the trade.
