Its one assembly, its two differnt parts, actually four. The bracket, pump, sensor, and low fuel light. The other sesonsor is just the bracket and the sender. i'm suspisous of this entire diagnoses. Take it to a dealer or someone else. Its rare for these things to go. Are you sure its not a pressure transducer? What trouble code are you getting? This is a very very rare of the car to give trouble, except for them being innacurate.

What you never owned an Studabaker Avanti? I have owned a "botload" of manuals too, but untill your in bumper to bumper traffic up a 3 mile incline on a bridge, you never really lean how beutiful a hill holder is, as the hand brake thing gets tired after a while. It really does extend the life of your clutch, even on minor inclines. But its your car. nipper

fedback on a car part that takes a few days to install isnt reliable. You can't go back and change the feedback. Also on the newer forums there are a few people that have gotten crap ebay head gaskets. personally i just wouldnt do it. You say you bought several sets off ebay, i hope not for all the same engine. nipper -
A spark plug jumps a airgap and grounds out on the electrode. The electrode is a fairly large target. As we know from lightning, high voltage electricity does what it want when it wants to. If you have plugs fowling, or burning oil, they are sometimes handy to have. If they are only a little more money, its like chicken soup, can't hurt. If its alot more money, its not worth it. Also any new sparkplug will out perform an old sparkplug. nipper

Follow your clutch cable. If i remeber correctly there will be a second cable coming off the clutch fork going to the HH The way a HH works: Stop on an incline. Depress the clutch, release the brake. The clutch will hold the car in place (by holding the left front brake) Untill the clutch is released. When the clutch is released, the brake lets go, and off you go. nipper

Never have a very bad wheel bearing? Besdies the car is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there, and i'm up here. May be a combination of things, may just be pads.:-p As long as he is there pulling off the wheel he should check everything. nipper -
of course its hoooked up to the speed signal. In car units are wired into the vss system so they can do some dead reconing when they use the satalite, along with the wheel angle sensor. put the car in drive with the wheels chocked and no foot on the brake. This will tell us if it is wired into the NSS or not. Try to fiddle with it then. nipper

YOU must be really careful when you do this. The cooling system is not designed to have a large vacume on it. I am all for anything that works, but in all honesty, in 35 years of working on cars (since i was 10), i never had a problem with air trapped in a cooling system. Dealers have fancy systems becuase time is money to them, and anything that speeds up the process saves them money. The avg Joe doesnt really have the need for a vac pump. Its really simple, fill the system with the car running, wait for the t-stat to open, keep filling the system. Squeeze the upper hose if it makes you feel better. Seal the system take a test drive. Check the fluid level when it cools off, top off as needed, and your done. nipper
