Re: mechanical fuel pump - 73 cj5
Matt,
I have seen people take thier vehicles to an indoor parking lot to
work on. There is no dignity in it, but a 150 bucks can buy a lot of
dignity or enough beer to restore your dignity.

Re: mechanical fuel pump - 73 cj5
I think before I got all worked up about how much it costs to replace, I'd be a
little more sure than "probably".

Re: update
here's the update.
after 'probably' being chastised into getting off my lazy ****, i
sucked up the 20 degree weather this morning.
actually, the oil pressure sending line is leaking ever so slightly.
the freeway miles must have increased the flow and the fan just blew
it everywhere.
and the vehicle is running rough because the fuel line is
leaking...right on the manifold. that's safe. geez.
thanks for the responses...and the heckling.
safe holidaze,
matt
