loki42,  I can definitely set you up.  I recommend not wasting $$ on an electric fuel pump.  The manual pump is a perfect little performer.

I still have the $325 special but soon it will have to go up to $335.  Not a huge difference but everything seemed to get more expensive last month.  If you are looking for something a little cheaper, PM me and we can chat.  I have  few other options and I'm always open to bartering.

A note to all, this site has been awesome and is the ONLY site I offer the discounts on the kits.  Great job eveyone...
