Fuel pump experts...help!

So, stockers taking a crap. I purchased this more "mild" aftermarket pump

http://speed-eng.com/store/holleywal...ph-p-1618.html

Judging by that, will it just be plug and play, or will I have to replace the wiring (which is what I wanted to avoid, but if I have to, whatever). I just want my car running right again. Car only has a couple of bolt ons....mostly exhaust.

Looks like that pump comes with a wiring pig tail so it should be real easy to wire it up .Thats the bad thing about walbro pumps is there is no standard wiring connector.

Judging by the picture, it does not look plung and play at all, the two wires just end, you'll have to splice them into the stock wiring or something.

Why 155lph? Most a/m pumps are 255 lph, and I don't like it when they use a rubber hose, when the pump apparatus bends, the hose will likely kink. I would get a quality 255lph that comes with the flexible plastic straw-like hose already on the pump, but the two times (2 diff cars) I thought I was getting a good one, it came with a regular straight rubber hose (not even pre-bent like the one you got) and no glue for the bucket.

I suppose I got brainwashed by advertising for aftermarket fuel pump wiring harnesses claiming that higher LPH pumps (i.e. 255) require the wiring to be entirely redone otherwise it will actually hinder performance. Basically BUY OUR WIRING HARNESS!

Of course, this one claims to be capable well past my current and near-future goals. Just making sure it doesn't need a bunch of accessories to work.
