Why didn't you have them call Holley just to verify that it was the correct
part? They already had the thing apart, it would have been easy enough to
finish the install once the nice people on the Holley tech line told them
that they were tards.

Why? You already had another pump that *should* have worked, correct? I
dunno, maybe I'm missing something in the thought process here, but this
just doesn't make sense to me.

Why didn't you just have the new pump installed by this shop? They were
already familiar with your setup. It would probably have been a one stop
upgrade, and you would have avoided all of the hassles involved with moving
the vehicle from shop to shop - incurring new charges at each.

I don't know how to comment on this without coming off condescending so I'm
going to leave it alone. I will say that I think it could have been avoided
with more time spent on planning.
I'm glad that your truck will be up and running again by friday, and am
sorry that you've had to deal with the big hassle over the past few days.
Hopefully, everything will go smoothly if/when you decide to revisit this
mod.
Also, I apologize if this came off a bit harsh, it was not my intent to
flame you.
