It is used to release the violet level sender wire from your old factory connector so you can plug it into the new Racetronix harness.

Racetronix,
I got your shipping confirmation and tracking number.. however, it shows the item being delivered to someplace in NY (I'm in Florida).. I've sent emails to all your email addresses but have been getting auto replies saying contact your local authorized dealer.. I ordered it through your web site at your direction and therefore dont have a dealer. I've tried calling three dealers but get voice mail at them all.. Could you please email me or PM me with a way to contact you so we can straighten everything out?

I'm sure its probably some kinda typo with the tracking number or something.. BTW: I called USPS and they said the shipper had to call and there is nothing I can do.. (especially since its an international order).

thanks in advance!

I had that happen one time, the person put the package behind my grill and I never saw it there. I called and was told is was delivered so I began a search. Normally the packages are just left in front of the door here.

Racetronix shipping practices seem a bit weird but the stuff still seems to find its way to correct address My pump was delivered from Canada to Iowa, the tracking had wrong recipient and the sending company was incorrect. Still it arrived nicely and everything written on the actual box was correct so only the tracking data was nonsense.

We expect a full report on the installation and performance of your new fuel pump. This seems like the way to go. My pump is about 16 years old, so I'm thinking about preventive maintenance myself.

Enjoy your bonding experience with your Vette. Don't forget that paste that goes between the coil module and the engine.
