LT1 LOW FUEL PRESSURE

[CSH-HQ]

Well, I can tll you this, I was sent to inspect a door latch that had been 
replaced, and the retainer was off (also the wrong one was inside the door 
panel) on the back side (was a few  years ago).
The door had opened while in an accident.  Long story shortened, took my 
statement, about the installation.  The Insurance Co. got out of any 
liablity over the door opening since the owner, didn't do the installation 
right.
They covered the accident damage but not the reapair of the door, or medical..
  Being an expert witness, is an excellent way to make money, I'll tell ya.
Insurance co.s cn be real weenies when they want.
