[Syty] Fuel Pump

[DOlivares]

ALSO,

be prepared to drain and flush-out you gas tank.  You're never gonna be able to get all those cooked sealer-chips outta the tank which are inevitably gonna fall into the inner chamber as you cut and chip through all that sloppy goo and glue those factory apes slathered over the upper retainer ring!  Don't risk clogging your brand-new filter-sock!  That alone will add to your long-term performance benefit.  And be careful not to chew-up those ears on that retainer-ring.  I was having so much trouble cutting through all that ossified goop I nearly ruined that soft-brass ring for proper reassembly onto the tank.  If I ever do this again I'm gonna invest in either a new retainer-ring from GM or else that special Kent-Moore spanner-wrench designed for this very purpose....

Hey Jeff

>From one owner of one of Chris Pearsons formerly owned truck to another, the Walbro 255 is the choice.  

You can buy it from AutoPerformanceEngineering.com, around $110.  Ron Gregory is the person to talk to if you need help.

Some other advice... if you plan to do it yourself, just make sure you do it on a near empty tank. ::thumbsup::

  The Ty's OEM pump is down to about 25 psi.  The poor thing barely runs.  I'm pumping and pulling the tank tomorrow.  There was a lot of talk about Walbros in Feb. '05, but I'm not planning on racing, except the occasional stoplight Grand Prix.  I'm leaning towards a Bosch replacement pump.  Advice is welcome.....particularly if it comes from the one and only serovilo, grtyphoon, bullyhart, merk1993 or any of the other great contributors.
