Hey, I'm going to change out my fuel pump, and I've made the requisite 
marks on the seat IAW 
http://www.sho91mtx.homestead.com/files/fpfyi.html. The seat on this 
looks like it's for a Gen 1. Are the directions unchanged for the Gen 2 
as far as measurements go? I don't want to go cutting a hole only to 
realize it's in the wrong spot :(. Also, I figured out that the alarm 
system I for some reason have in my car is indeed Ford Factory (at least 
according to the large blue sticker with the ford logo and "factory 
security system"). Does anybody know where or how to get a manual for 
this? preferably without going to the stealer?

ooh, and also, can changing a fuel filter cause the stumbly idle and the 
intermmittant loss of power? I mean, obviously I put a new one in but 
there's a remote possibility I installed it backwards. I don't think I 
did, but would that cause it? oh my God, I'm so tired of fuel problems. 
It never ends! It started right after I installed the new alternator and 
fuel filter... it didn't stumble after the fire. man, I just don't know. 
This is really frustrating. Good thing I'm going on cruise in four days 
but I still want it fixed before I go... I love my wife but she's no 
mechanic. Thanks for any replies....
