Not sure what check ball your talking about the pump uses an umbrella style check valve between the bowl and the pump. I could not find anything on how to test it.
Its a 670 Street Avenger I bought in 07. It has the black seal in it. Model 80670-1
I was looking at this kit which looks like it has the Green Diaphragm

I got the cross brace mount fixed. I got some nutserts and they like they would be a stronger then original repair. I had to come with a simple tool to install them because the tool that is designed for installing them is a couple of hundred dollars. They work just like a pop rivet but the gun is 2+ feet long. If anyone needs more details let me know.
Nutsert
Nutser tool I used, I drilled out an old grinder wrench, this was needed to keep the insert from spinning. After that is was just crank the nut until it crushed. I would suggest a grade 8 Nut and Bolt to do the crushing. I just used a nut I have in my junk draw. Even with the correct forge wrench I damaged the nut.
Two repairs on one side, yes I need to replace the rusty exhaust, its on the list.

Nice job on the core. When a couple early Camaro's I had for DD's, I would lay down a plastic sheet from firewall to seat to over the hump and over rocker panel for catching coolant and fast easy clean-up.

Ran the engine today but no test drive. I warmed her up and re-pressure tested it. It all looks good, I am going to need to do valve cover gaskets and maybe valve seals. The valve seals are 22+ years old. Engine bay is still a mess but its not a show car. The rust on the headers is annoying, back in the day Aluminum coated headers were suppose to not rust.
I hit up a local car show swap meet and I lucked into a pair of door panels. My original plan was to buy re-pop door panels so I could cut them and put speakers in the door. I would then restore my original door panels and store them. Rag tops really have limited space for speakers. I saw these and for $80 and snapped them up. They are used OEM and in a lot better shape them my original ones. I may just pack them up and cut up my original door panels. Before you judge me see below.
The swap meet score.
My original driver door.
I just need a reverse light setup and it should pass inspection. Hopefully I can get that early in the week. I am hoping to go back to work soon. If things go well this will be a very long thread. There are tons of things this car could use but I would like to get it out and enjoy it.
