That's what I did. Not too bad that way.

 

Randy....how long did it take you to replace the pump?

 

Arent you guys worried about cutting into a fuel line? That would be my only concern.

 

actually to tell you the truth, i had advance racing dynamics do it, when they replaced my fuel pump and did the cam swap and my gear change...they said ti took about 1-2 hours to do, bc you have to cut...that website tells you exactly where to cut it...
sorry i couldnt help ya...many people on here have done it that way...save a lot of time and pain and trouble

 

Cool, how do you like your new cam? Does it pull or what? I am finishing tomorrow with my cam install. I am running 32lb injectors...I will have to drive for a week withthe stock fuel pump....take it easy until I replace the pump with the 255lph I have waiting. Thanks for your help and the rest of you guys that chimed in on this thread.

 

well i still prob need to get a tune fromt eh dyno to lean out my fuel mixture, but as of now its pretty good, but i bet i could prob pull about another 10-15hp from the tune...

A good tune is key to hp

 

I did a fuel pump on a v6 convertible bird, it was a bitch and a half. U have to drop the rear-end about 2-3 ft, u also gotta remove all the freakin suspension ****, it took us about 1hr to drop the tank and about another to put it back in. Overall i dont really think it's that bad, but then again i did it on a lift with the car about 5-6 ft up in the air and a bunch of air tools.

doing it the old school way is fairly easy also. It takes longer of course but the only hard part was "moddifing" the gas tank neck, and the metal that it rubs against to get it out!
