Installed a new fuel pump. I was surprized that AutoShack had a rebuildable pump similar to the original german pump. Assembled in USA.

This picture makes me nervous. Any way that you can move the fuel filter farther away from the ignition system?

Been that way for years and hasn't caught fire yet. I see what you mean. I'll look at moving that.

Thanks! I shot that in Roseland, Louisiana a month or so before I started restoration. I have it in black and white, framed at my desk.



This is my new favorite photo:

A Sinclair station...WOW! was this picture taken out west somewhere? I haven't seen the classic green dinosaur in Michigan for years.

Downtown Cassopolis Michigan. The guy that owns Afdent dental bought it as an abandoned building and restored it.

We have the Sinclair Diner in Webberville, about 15 minutes from Perry. It is a cool diner that is housed in an old Sinclair gas station.

Good food, to! They also sell MSU Dairy ice cream, which is mighty tasty!

That is awesome. Cool old stations. You hardly seen them anywhere over here these days. I just got back from a trip out west in Montana and Wyoming. Funny thing...most the stations out their that I saw were Sinclair. Got to love the Green Dinosaur.
