Here is mine. Hasn't been cleaned up at all yet but this will give you an idea of where to make the cut. You will need to cut farther than just being able to see the top of the pump so you can access all of the quick disconnect fittings on the feed and return lines.

I thought about buying that car at one point from the guy in rich hill but I couldn't live with the flame paint job that's on it, so I paid 2 grand more and 40k miles more but has mint cond paint and interior, not a bad price though and great cars

or do like my cousin did on his 99 vette and use liscense plates, electric tape, and screws works great only smelled like gas

one of my buddies bought a mint ls1 ws6 with 115k and paid 14k for it he said he only bought it because he liked the hood

i bought this one simple because the price seemed right to me. i wasnt concerd with weather it was a LS or a LT. i looked a 95 ws6 the week before but didnt jump at that one cuz the dealer wouldnt move off his $7K price. ive owned 4 different pontiacs (2 66 venturas, 2 70 lemans) and grew up in a pontiac house but sold them all years ago. but after pontiac went under i knew i had to own at least one more before the prices went so high i couldnt get my hands on one

Hang on to it. I really think these cars will become collectible one day. They have a timeless look that is already loved by almost everyone.
