[QUOTE="Tob, post: 10002935, member: 83412"] Studying the parts and reading through the detailed instructions, I notice a couple of things... - [i] Page 15 of 35[/i] [b](STEP) 32. DO NOT INSTALL DOWEL PINS, they are not needed for proper installation.[/b] Kind of like being told "Do not push the red button". I'd like an answer as to [i]why[/i], but there is no explanation given. I'm wondering if it has to do with step 38... Is it because you can't slide the assembly into place if the dowels are inserted? Then how the hell did these guys manage to do it? [img]http://image.musclemustangfastfords.com/f/28547462/mmfp_1009_08_o+2010_ford_mustang_shelby_gt500+two_dowels_removed.jpg[/img] So while I take the included directions as Gospel, I'd still like an explanation. What are you guys that have installed 2.9's (etc) doing? - Where is the Fuel Pump relay on '07-'09 cars and is it readily identifiable? Just asking now before I dive in, as much as it may be in a simple and in your face location. - [i]Page 22 of 35[/i] [b](STEP) 72. Gap supplied spark plugs to .025 inch.[/b] Once again, the MM&FF article shows a bigger gap... [img]http://image.musclemustangfastfords.com/f/33913086/mmfp_1009_06_o+2010_ford_mustang_shelby_gt500+new_ngk_spark_plugs_2.jpg[/img] So which is it? - The included fuel pump [i]looks[/i] to be missing something. There are two tubes that run vertically up the pump, one on each side. One has a spring on it and the other is encase in black corrugated tubing. Look at the bottom of each. One has a plastic cap or stopper, while the other doesn't. [ATTACH=full]101557[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101558[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101559[/ATTACH] You can physically compress the pump (hence the spring) to allow for some plunge in the unit, ergo, the unit can move vertically relative to the tank bottom. Without a limiting cap on the one side, the unit can **** slightly. If the one cap failed, the bottom of the pump could slide down and rest on the tank bottom, atop the pump screens. I looked closely at the pump photo from the MM&FF article and it has only one cap as well, but it is located on the opposite tube... [img]http://image.musclemustangfastfords.com/f/28547489/mmfp_1009_21_o+2010_ford_mustang_shelby_gt500+new_frpp_high_output_fuel_pump_assembly.jpg[/img] I guess I'll find out how the OE pump handles it when I remove it but it has piqued my interest. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if any of you 2.9 guys if you have any suggestions/information. Tob On edit - I can't use the work "c o c k" in the above description regarding the pump? Jeez! [/QUOTE]
