They call for a brass punch because it reduces the chance of sparks and possible ignition of gasoline vapors.

a big flat head screw driver.

 

NM, question already answered...

 

wooden dowel?

 

Ok im finally back!I just got the the pump&filter in.Now it just keeps cranking,then trys catching,but doesnt start.It just sems to keep cranking.Im running outta daylight,so any help will be appreciated! Thanks

 

Ok i got it started.It starts up right away,its idling fine but when in gear its running real rough.Now i drove it and it doesnt have to much power.It did smell a bit when i first,like rotten eggs.That smell seems to have gone away,but the power loss is still there.Any thoughts?????

 

Also my check engine light has been on for a while now,BUT its blinking intermittintly on and off???

 

Ok i checked the codes and it says p1684(battery disconected recently) and p030 (misfire on no.4 cylinder).What to do next?????

 

Switch the plug and wire with another cylinder and see it the misfire moves. Move them to different cylinders so you know if it's a plug or wire. The check engine light flashes when you are in danger of melting down your catalytic convertor. Must be missing pretty bad.
