[Shotimes] A little advise

[Carl Prochilo]

I was just at AZ today and asked about the fuel pressure gauge.  Are you
talking about the $37 one they sell?

About APE, agreed.  Ask him about the 155lph pump because he hasn't
updated his website yet, but he should have it in stock.

I'm planning to drop my tank this week.
