I received my new pumps Thursday afternoon.I changed the clamps on the primary pump to a screw type because ready for this the smooth clamp came off after 3 tries while checking the operation. So take out pump assembly and replaced the clamp on the primary pump. Retest ok I did noticed that the amp with both showed only 7.1 amp draw. Battery voltage was 12.5 volts during this test.So i do not get 8 + amps draw.The nipple on the fuel pump has no ridge on the end of the pump feed and that is why the hose came off. Fuel pressure reading was 50 lbs with key on after starting pressure dropped to 42-43 lbs.
i believe the electric fuel gauge reads a little low ,won't know until i get my mechanical gauge back. Next up driver side window motor stops working at
times. Work goes on.

Ok update, car runs good after i replaced the smooth clamps with screw type.
I got my mechanical fuel pressure gauge back and it read about 2 lbs higher then electrical gauge. (mechanical read 52 lbs electric read 50 lbs).
Next is replace driver side window motor, but that will have to wait as i'am going to the $100,000 foot brake race in Tenn. this coming weekend. As a pit crew not as as a driver.
