Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're actually going to install the fuel pump. I don't know what these pre-existing studs are for exactly, I think they're old exhaust hangers. But we're going to be running custom exhaust so we won't need them. So Mark's putting rubber isolators on these studs, they're just conveniently located. We made a bracket that will fit between these two studs and hold the fuel pump in there. The rubber isolators help make it so that the fuel pump vibration doesn't telegraph into the car too much. It will still do it some, but not too bad. Some blue lock tight on there, because these suckers do vibrate and we don't want to end up having it back the fasteners off. So he's got the fuel pump laid up in there, with the custom bracket that he made. He's going to tighten it in there. And same routine with the fuel filter.
