They don't give you that part in my intructions. They say to take it to a Apexi dealer. Anything to try and squeeze more money out of us. And that is why I'm going to Nates today.
Do you have a logger mitsu90? Because you are going to need it to monitor your engine performance, when you hook up your Safc. -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

 Hey guys I found out why I was running so lean. My rubber hose that I put on the fuel pump bursted/seperated.I was actually trying to find out why when I filled the car full with gas my gas gauge would fall on it's face (go all the way to the left). It starts showing fuel about 1/4 to 3/8 of a tank. I have the 255 walbro, when I bought it, it came with pump and filter. No wires so I had to wire myself. I heat shrank the positive female fitting before I put it in. But I didn't the positive tube connecter, Just crimped and left it like that. Is this thing shorting out on me when I fill 'er up? 
-------------------- Thanks, Bud!

But why is my fuel gauge doing that? Could it be what I explained.

The gauge is a different part of the wiring harness. Did to bend the float arm when you put the pump back in?

I'm guessing some kind of wiring issue. Sounds like its time to break out the multimeter again.

Sorry read it wrong, I was thinking it stays at "E" and doesn't register until you have 1/4 tank in...if you would have bent it up, it would have to fill up until it hit the float. Natedogg's tight, time for the multimeter...

This is just a pic to show you what I found when I pulled the pump. Notice the hose. Click on the pic to enlarge!
 This is what I found when I pulled my fuel gauge cover off. The part that is screwed to the fuel pump housing. Notice the burnt spot on the left of the board, I think it's fried.

Your AFPR was a $4.00 Ebay buy though correct?
