[Shotimes] Fuel Filter

[Dave Pillsbury]

I cut the body on mine installed the fuel pump. Drove the car 200 miles 
when the new fuel pump failed on the side of the road. I pulled the 
bottom cushion of the rear seat. removed the screws I used to hold the 
new sheet metal down. Opened the tank replaced the pump  put the screws 
back in replaced the seat. Drove it home. Save 80 Bucks in towing!!!!!!!
So all you drop the tank guys feel free. And if your pump goes on the 
way to Indy and mine does too. I'll do the same thing on the side of the 
road and be up and running in 15 minutes.
