    There's a one-way valve on the bottom to let fuel in from the bottom in addition to the fuel return line.

    First production shipment coming in later this month.

    Thanks James! I agree this looks like a great upgrade. Do you have any pictures of the external logic box? Where is it recommended to mount that? Is it weatherproof so it can go in the fuel access area or is it better relocated somewhere inside the cabin? Does the harness for the new pump/sender directly interface with the factory wiring or will there be cutting/splicing/tapping/soldering/etc involved?

    Exciting project! Sorry for all the questions...

    The logic box is water-resistant and should pose no problems if mounted as instructed. It's designed to be completely "plug and play" in every sense of the word, using the same connectors and requiring no new wiring for cars with stock wiring.

    1. Disconnect battery
    2. Remove the original in-tank components, unplug the pump harness.
    3. Unplug fuel sender (leave sender in place).
    4. Drop in new module, clamp into place with supplied clamp.
    5. Mount logic box with supplied straps to fuel filler tube (from neck to tank)
    6. Plug 2-wire harness from module to original 2-wire fuel pump harness on car.
    7. Plug 3-wire harness from module to original 3-wire fuel sender harness on car.
    8. Reconnect battery.

    Waiting on one or two more components to come in. We're told mid-March.

    Cool. I am pretty certain my pump is up for replacement but I've been holding off until this kit is available.

    Hey guys, Any update as to how far off the new pumps are...

    Mine is on the way out and I'm really trying to hold on as long as I can for the new setup...

    thanks
