There's to much to read through here but has the starter mod been done to your car and did you do your relay socket replacement yet?Quote:

There are four brown wires on my blower motor circuit breaker, so I assume so.Quote:

I am about to get in touch with my inner caveman, thanks to the frustrating problems that appear again and again and again.Quote:

I'm going to have a glass of lemonade to calm my nerves, then go put some Damp-Rid in the car so it can work its wondrous goodness while I am at work tomorrow. I should be able to start working on the relay compartment tomorrow evening before dark. Leaky carburetor and wet floor notwithstanding -- I just want to be able to DRIVE the damn thing and fix the problems as I go like I was doing before my fuel pump woes started.

I'd still, for kicks, follow that brown wire from the breaker to the relay. Also make sure you got juice at the breaker, sure you do thourgh.Quote:

You can't leave the pump spinning (engine off) and expect the needle valve to keep up. I put a quick connect inline so I can disconnect my pump yet still energize the vehicle.

Make sure your windshield plenum drain is clear, otherwise rainwater will back up into the evaporator box via the fresh air door.Quote:

Headliner's dry, and so is the area around the doors.Quote:

See if the hose from the evaporator box to your blower motor is wet.
Also pour a bunch of water into the plenum and verify that it comes out the drain hole.

Don't the pumps you guys are using have internal pressure cutoffs?Quote:

I can check this tomorrow.
Farrar
Nope. They just push merrily away.Quote:
