Iroc Back running

I bet know one has seen the Red Roc on the road.. Once again I screw up.. my fuel pump fuse blew out and I mean blew out.. So what do I do.. I look at the darn thing but for get to replace it.. Go buy a fuel pump instead and install it with out plugging it in the wire in the tank duh Branden that would help.. Oh and replace the fuse to you idiot oh and it's that time of month again.. Smog.. I still need to get the rear end put back in.. Going to get some help from a good friend Ivan.. As I cant to it by myself.. So it is going to be great to drive the Camaro once again.. Btw new Name eh..

Why did the fuse blow out to start with? If your original fuel pump was not shorted out, you will still have the same problem when you get everything put back together. You need to find out why the fuse blew. You either have a short that will blow the fuse again, or you have an intermittant short that will allow the fuse to last long enough for you to get the car away from home, probably on the freeway before the fuse blows to park you on the side of the road.

I'd have to agree with Russ. There was a reason that fuse blew and it needs to be corrected before you throw another one at it, or the problem will just repeat.

So how've you been? You get a new email address or somethin? I tried to write you at the other one a while back, but never got a response. If you got a new one just PM it to me.

I know I will need to have to check into that Russ.. Not sure if it was a weak fuse or not. The car has been running on a junk yard fuel pump so I figured it needed to be replaced.. I tested out the Relay trick and every thing is ok there.. When Ivan comes maybe he can help me track down why the fuse blew..

Yeah Jeremy I got a new Email adress.. It's the same as this just aol.com.. I been pretty sick lately with a disorder.. Im doing ok just taking some medications for it.. I need to get out more is one thing I need.. Being disabled and going through all my disability is another story to it.. Living life inside has gotten to me.. Over time things should shape up.. Yeah Geeze it has been a long time.. I hope I have not missed any good stuff.. All I have heard was that Don moved to a new location and Allen is ready to take on Vincent.. And Jerry has his new motor in.. Im like thats cool.. I think that last fun thing I did with the car was I went to Irwindale.. Car ran actually pretty good.. I think it would do better in the 1/4 with more top end power mph.. At Irwindale I was taking the last turn out lane so I, well one my brakes were not all that great to stop at the first one and I was so far ahead of the race I figured there be no way I could take the first.. So I stayed in it a couple of times and after that 1/8 mark I noticed the car wanted to fly.. Im not even sure though if I will race the car again or not.. Easier to stick with a 13.01 1/4 than Break or wear any other parts.. Just Considering the car should be able to make a low 13 second car..

Hey how's it going Branden? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Take some pictures when you get a chance of the Iroc, I'm curious to see how it turned out
