I was hoping for other "rewards". Though you may be right.

Gap your rings and know when to pull out... of the throttle.
If she's new, then she needs to know when you need a butt connector and then when to progress to stroking your ....................... motor
Solved the rear brake wheel fitment issues.
On order....
Other work is done. It's car time again. Just in time for winter. Dropping fuel tank now.

Ok, back to the ol' grind.
I had to drop the tank as I had strong reason to suspect that I had incorrectly connected the return and vent lines.... I had a really odd 25psi pressure loss on my return side prior to parking the car also, which I thought was the roll over valve being launched off the inside of the sending unit.
So out it came.
I discovered the roll over check valve was still intact but I definately hooked up the return line to the vent.... disappointing...
So I cut off the vent and seached for the compression fitting to reconnect, but I didn't have the right size...
So I got a few things ready for a potential buyer in Saskachewan. Ol' motorheadmike, even though he doesn't hang out here anymore, he needed a replacement turbo for the Monte. And some brakes for his turd-gen I think.

Got the correct fitting for the return line and buttoned it up. I decided to pop the roll over valve off and make sure it was ok after dumping my return into it. Blowing through it was super restricted so I hogged it out with a drill.
Kinda hard to see in the pics but it's restricted down to about 1/16" before and about 3/16" after. It made a noticable difference and hopefully will help the tank fill faster.
Tank was re-installed, and I am going to slap a fuel filter on the vent above the axle. Done deal.
