Message that connect from the top of the bulkhead to
anything fuel pump related. Feed and return
on top, and a short feed with 2 double spring
clamps. All clamps and hoses were tight
when I checked, but of course I will double
check to eliminate the variable and since one
of the clamps on top looks to be non-OEM
(OEM would be a philips fuel clamp, and not
the flathead worm clamp that I found on my
return line). I was looking for other ideas
regarding my weird cranking issue but I will
start with inspection of the hoses and
checking pressure.

For future searchers with NA-TT swaps in
2+2s...make sure the short hoses that
connects the FP to the bulkhead is seated as
far in as possible. You will notice that's it's
basically this hose that holds the FP to to
bulkhead, and the FPs height is determined
by how much you adjust the hose. Make the
FP as close to the bulkhead, and not to the
fuel tank, as possible. If you don't do this, the
strainer on the bottom will hit the baffles and
bottom of the fuel tank, and will eventually
damage the strainer (you will notice the
recoil effect of the strainer, that will be
eliminated with constant banging on it if you
left the hose in a position where it would
force the fuel pump to hang lower than
normal).
