Default Hard Starting..... Should have just believed what I read!!!!!!

So, in case you are wondering what Crow taste like......not like Chicken at all....

Bought my son for his first car a 98 4-door blazer that had been reworked(motor trans suspension steering etc) for a very good price, only thing was that after it would sit for a while it would take several seconds 5-10 for the blazer to run and after that would crank fine for the rest of the day(I know this story sounds very familiar).
Joined this forum a while back and did some reading and noticed a pattern on the same issue,but in my head thinking no way it could be the fuel pump. Well last week while on vacation the Blazer wouldn't crank. Rapped on the tank several times and pump began to hum(Bad pump). Pulled it up in the garage and proceeded to change the pump(Full tank of Gas). Couple of hours later I was done(Delphi Pump Assembly).
Touch the key or even think about cranking it up and it fires right up without hesitation. Also there was a mysterious slight hesitation(miss) that was there before but is now gone with the new fuel pump install.
LESSON LEARNED......Thanks
