Sorry to hear you got had but I'm sure you'll figure out what happened. It's usually the middle man (cough UPS cough) that screws things up. Just to add a few examples: UPS $550 ground effects lost, I claim and for 3 years I've had to sign for everything the bastards. Then I ordered my stewart water pump and a bunch of other stuff. UPS had no trouble delivering all my other parts for the engine swap but the water pump wasn't in. I called up Stewart Components and a nice lady told me she'd call me back after she calls UPS and tracks it. Find out the tracking number and it took them 6 buisness days to get it into Trenton NJ then a line said they needed driving directions!!!???!?!??! They were there the day before and the day after! The bastards didn't even bother to call up either me or Stewart Components.
Why again are you getting a 454 unit? I know you want the stronger and better toleranced injectors but what is wrong with the holley unit? I have the same exact setup except I have the RPM intake. You and I both need to get some times posted.
BTW, have you made the fuel pressure regulator adjustable yet? It's very easy, let me know if you need to know how to do it. One more question for you, where did you find the correct TPS sensor adaptor for the holley unit?

Brian,
that sucks. Big time!
I just can't a warm fuzzy from buying things from people I can't talk to and don't know. At least witha company you can file with the better business bureua.
good luck,
Andy

 

well i have never had any other problems with online buying from individuals. i have bought a bunch of stuff, i dont think that this type of thing is normal. i mean who knows...maybe the guy sent it and its lost. maybe he is dead. lol. i dunno though, but it pisses me of nonetheless. 2we'll see what happens. i'll keep you updated.

UPS lost my hi flow cat converter one time. It took an extra week. THOSE BASTARDS

 

UPS is short for F*ckups.

 

Make sure you turn him in to EBAY fraud section under buyer/sellers tools. I have had better luck getting things resolved after turning deadbeat sellers in. I have had 100% success rate on ebay. Yahoo is a different matter.
