Time moves in one direction, memory in another.

Looks like the fuel pump won the battle.  I was expecting the box from Germany to arrive today-rather I received the box with the fuel pump.  It's a 'win' either way, really, because I got a box I was waiting for...and the other one should be close behind (Monday, perhaps?).

It's very nice now that I have it-and it's not a Pierburg-it's made by BOD in Italy.  Can't say I've ever seen one before now...It's very similar to the Pierburg but the top is different-it's more bell shaped whereas the Pierburg is more flat on top.

This one has slight corrosion on the front plate but I'm pretty sure I can replate it without any issues.
