Pete, Glad you are safe. When Jake and I took the Stude to Texas the first time we lost the fuel pump just on the other side of Goldfield. We did get cell service and called for a tow truck. It was the same outfit from Tonopah. The same Napa store had a Studebaker fuel pump. The guys at the tow place let me use their shop and our tools to modify the pump for the supercharger and we were on the road the next morning. The car was vapor locking so bad we could not pull the long grade out side of Goldfield. So we looked around town and found a guy who had some insulation and wooden clothes pins which in insisted on giving us although he was selling them in a yard sale. We put the insulation around the fuel pump and poured water on it and hit the road again. That is one of the things I fixed when we got to Lubbock and Jake started classes. Welcome to the club, the busted by the road club. \:D
