Received my Aeromotive pump today from the brown truck. After consulting a couple guys here I got the wiring setup, pump hung and installed into the tank. Leader lines are hooked up....yes they're EFI lines and clamps btw.
What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

I had one for the feed, wouldn't install for nothin! Hose is E85 compatible and good to 225psi so I feel safe.
I wasn't worried about any Fiats, just a joke about them often becoming sick, and dying soon afterwards. Too soon, sadly, but they continue being spawned over in the mother country. If you have not addressed your brake noise yet, I understand. Who wants to go back to a repair before it's expected ? Sounds kind of like you'd rather 'talk about it' awhile first. lol. So I expect you know what to do next. Inspect the pads and disk on the noisy side with the other side, and find out if the pads are not releasing the same on both sides. It would seem with the multiple pistons there would be more of a chance one is frozen out enough to wear a pad down to it's side warning tab, or glaze harden it.
No, it's not conductive, which seems counterproductive, but does not have to be. The idea is that the grease prevents corrosion inside the bulb socket. This is especially important after you clean up the corrosion from the socket contacts with a ignition point file or fine sandpaper. The electrical contacts are not compromised IF you insure the contacts have good tension against your 'always new' bulb. Gently bend them out more if necessary for enough tension. If they light, you're good.
I bought a pump up garden sprayer from Lowe's. It shoots/sprays on paint, oil, or whatever, depending on the orifice . The wand reaches anywhere.I was able today to finally complete the bottom of the Driver side floor pan, Reaching further back for rust treatment is going to be a real challenge.

Here a shot the best I could get anyway of the underside of the Core Support. Cleaned up and Truck bed lined.

Driver Side floor pan front to back, Surface rust cleaned and sprayed. Time for the Passenger side.
If you brush on a coat of Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer, followed by their topcoat, in any color or gloss you want, you won't have to worry about it. O.K., to be honest, it's best to put on two of the prime coats, followed by the finish coat.
Yeah gonna try and take a look at it before this weekend, with it being the holiday weekend there are some events going on that I would like to be able to take both cars to. I remember the front having those weird individual pads, I think the rear is just a single pad but only one way to find out. Appreciate the input
Actually now that you mention it, I did buy one of those from Harbor Freight. Definitely came in handy for wet sanding. but the under side is almost complete, the rust wasn't as bad as it could have been, since the car was sitting in the owners shop for almost 14 years all the rust underneath is mostly scrape off Surface stuff. All I have left is spots on the frame and other small areas in the rear, maybe try to get around the Trans housing area that reaches more toward the back above the drive line. That's it really as much of the rust I will get off. Other parts like the Suspension, Steering components etc, I am not worrying about since I am going to replace all that stuff some time next year.
I cleaned and painted the wiper arm black and while the paint was drying I had to change the bulb for right blinker indicator. I don't know other models but with a GP you have to remove the lower cover and drop the steering column to remove the fascia. I'm glad the last time I was working on the cluster I changed all the metric bolts for philips screws which are easy to put in place with a magnetic screw driver.....the bulb was not old but the same brand as the other indicator which was installed at the same time so I changed both....
