Wheee!, as you know I have  a lot of experience being military government worker, went from being Viet Nam ere vet to "playing in the sandbox".  I am retired now livin' off the government.

Here's a shot of the new fuel pump I cleaned up!

Nice pump. Does the check valve work?

Untested still. Working on the frame etc. Tonight I did a little paint stripping off the roof...

Picked up a connector to build a separate FI harness to the intake.

This winter has been long... miss driving!

I have a question. The driver side floor pan seems to have a lot of extra metal at the point where it meets the transmission tunnel. The passenger side seems fine. I am wondering if I have the correct floor pan?
My concern is that if I extend the metal up the tunnel, the seat supports won't fit anymore. There is about 4 inches gap at the tunnel to the curve of the floor pan. If I bend the floor pan in to meet the tunnel, the two drain plugs against the tunnel will be vertical and the entire curve will be gone. Basically the tunnel starts where the floor pan forms the U channel. 
If this is normal, I understand some metal work is needed!

I don't know. I would have thought your pans would have looked like the 240z pans with the large oval stampings and the drains plugs in the stampings...
