time for a new....

voodookills31 · 02-28-2008, 07:50 AM

fuel pump......i think...in my 92, the car sputters on 1st and second (more second than first).....so if fuel pump is the issue ... what is a good,reliable, and durable fuel pump? what my 92 has as far as mods are in my sig. Im not sure what kind of fuel pump it has already.

personally i would get an in-line pump. an svt focus pump would keep up just fine with your car. a lot of 4.6ers use em when they are pushin 400ish

so theres no way you could wire up the focus pump to work? thats weak... lol

iv heard that a handful of times from some ppl about the walbros burning up..just a freindly service announcement not putting your fuel tank down.. lol

i know TONS of people who use walbros... be it mustangs, turbo imports.. everything.. infact, i am installing my 255 walbro this weekend i think.

IN-LINE PUMPS TYPICALLY COME ONCE YOUR IN TANK PUMP CAN'T KEEP UP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH WALBRO THEY MAKE PUMPS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE BOX THAT IT GOES INTO.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS JUST USE TO HAVING IT ON.

Got a Holley for mine. 255lph too.

ANRmotorsports · 03-02-2008, 10:01 PM

Holley blue pump will do just fine since its a carb setup.

stangbrain · 03-04-2008, 12:57 AM

Holly Blue....and those are also rebuildable, you can buy the hits from a Holley dealer like Summit or Jegs, I think you can also get them from your local O'Reilly.

voodookills31 · 03-05-2008, 11:58 AM

so its a good pump and if it is broken, then i should be able to build it...right?
thanks for the info

89-cobra · 03-05-2008, 01:29 PM

is the bbk 255 bad?

Yea, should be more than sufficient for a carbed car. I run a Black on my car, but its got a shot of gas on it too. And yea they sell a new vane and gasket kit for the holley pump, you can rebuild it.
