That's what I thought too. I bought the car modded, so anytime something breaks I learn more what has been done.

Looking like I'll be making an order today. Thanks everyone.

Dropped the tank, found out Its aeromotive, and took a peek inside. There's rust spots along the weld where a sump was installed. So at least I know what caused my fuel pump failure, but what do I do now about the rust? Its not a ton but enough to wreak havoc.

Would moisture from the garage floor do any damage? When it gets humid Here in northern Illinois my garage floor sweats something fierce. When the concrete was poured decades ago they must not have put a moisture barrier down? Nothing in the garage is rusty, so never was too concerned about it.

Hmmmm, supposedly the 93 octane I buy is supposed to be ethanol free. I race motocross so I definitely stay away from that evil mixture.

Fantastic. I wonder how the tank developed rust? I guess I'll be dropping it on my next day off?

It's finally starting to become nice out, so I was able to unhook my old aeromotive a1000 fuel filter and to change the fuel filters. My fuel pump was slowly dying and finally was on her last breath before I put the car away for the winter. After draining 10 gallons of fuel (that was fun), I...

Wow, 7 years is really good. I think I may go with yellow top? Probably last me through 3 mustangs. lol

I get a massive discount on Optima batteries.

Yup I have the master batter shut off to install. I want to keep in the good graces of the NHRA. I'm more serious this year, so I'm making sure the car is ready for inspection.

Ok, that's what I was thinking but wanted to double check here with you guys. I'm going to get a battery bracket that is made specifically for the Optima batteries.

I have a very good hook-up with Optima battery and wondering which one do I get? My battery is relocated in the trunk and is sealed off by an aluminum rear seat delete, so I am not exposed to the fuel cell and battery per NHRA rules. But, I don't don't know which one to get, as far as the model...

Wow that's a lot of info! Before I put it away for the winter the fuel pressure read at 40psi idling and barely dropped to 39psi when it was WOT by hand. I don't know what it reads though when under load on the street? I'll check the basics this weekend. I'm going to check the size of the return...

Before the cold weather hit I took my 1995 supercharged 331 stroker cobra Mustang out for it's last journey before its hibernation. Over the summer I noticed the fuel pump would prime great when cold, but after some driving it would prime like it was struggling for life. Some times the car...

For sure, not taking it to a tuner until this hiccup is fixed, probably this spring. Good thing is the weather has turned and I will probably put her away for the winter, but sadly my garage is not heated. Lol The car is my first true drag car and I kind of wish I would have stuck with a basic...

I can only watch the fuel pressure at idle and manually reving it by hand. I'll start with filters, clean maf, check wiring, etc. I want to take it to the local shop to get a tune for it. I bought the car with all of the work done so still discovering what has been done. Money was no object to...

Over this summer I have noticed that my aeromotive a1000 fuel pump primes like normal when the car is cold, but now it's making a horrible priming noise and while driving it just doesn't sound like it used to. Plus after some driving, I shut off the car, and to start it again it sounds...

Yea, it's going to sit until I figure out what to start with? Well, the voltage to the fuel pump....I'm pretty happy I have a full tank to deal with if/when I replace the filter or pump.

Ok, I must have misread the vacuum line. It didn't sound right but I'm in the dark when it comes to complex cars. I should just stick with racing MX. lol The pump is Aeromotive 1000 fuel pump. I need a second person to see if it rises than falls to zero. I will check the voltage after work...

I don't smell any fuel from the vacuum line from the regulator, I should, right?
