Re: {Chrysler 300} Gasoline

[Tom Wilburn <tomwilburn1@xxxxxxxxx>]

with my F, once I installed (just north of the gas tank) the small electric fuel pump recommended on this alias, I get a very quick start as long as I prime it for 15 seconds before cranking. 

Prior to this it was a long crank. 

Easy install, huge difference
