Those boxes are fairly light and pulling them out of a 123 is relatively
easy, compared to a 201.
If you are reasonably strong, you don't even need a jack to place the
box in position, the 4 speed should be even lighter than the 5 speed.

I sent your message to the Owner of AGCO Automotive he replied back with

Have them verify fuel pressure and volume. It is NOT enough to have
pressure. It must have the correct pressure and full volume.
Hope this helps.

The most expensive is $1.35 per liter.
Those work out to about $2.08 and $5.10 per US gallon. The current price

Copied from a post by Esq. Snook.
As far as cheap reliable cars from GM, I would suggest any of the W body
cars with the 3800 engine or the 3.1L engines. I would avoid the 2.4 liter
engines in the smallest GM cars. The W body cars are the Grand Prix, Monte
Carlo, or Olds Cutlass Supreme.

Likely no lawsuit here, unless you can demonstrate a pattern of the shop
doing this routinely.
