Does not start or run

[95ss]

The assembly is designed to rotate out for removal. I would use a hammer and piece of 2x4 or non sparking metal chisel to hit it with to loosen it up. There is a gasket between the assembly and the tank. I forget what the material is.

Thanks, I used some light taps and it came right off. The Gasket is a large O ring.

LOL

looks like a oem production number to me.

usually, the entire assembly is not much more $$ than just the pump, so you might just replace the whole thing. Then you get a new fuel gauge sender and float too.

I got the pump off but damaged the fuel strainer....anyone know where to get a new one?

You can get the strainer at a local parts store. It needs to be replaced for your fuel pump warranty.

Walbro and Bosch are both good. The Walbro kit includes a new strainer, which has to be sourced separately for the Bosch. The Bosch is a more modern turbine type pump, and with it you can eliminate the little pulse dampner thingy that Ford installed with the Walbro. Just get the stock pump replacement kit, and it will fit your existing bracket just fine. Upgrade pumps don't fit the bracket properly, and there is no benefit to them on a stock car.

With these cars now 20+ years old, I think it is silly to try to shortcut the process by cutting an access hole in the body underneath the rear seat. Presuming you have a good set of jackstands, after you siphon as much gas as possible out, it is about as quick to drop the tank as it is to cut that hole. With the tank out, you can give it a good cleaning with Purple Power, and get whatever crud has collected in there over 20 years out. Put in the new pump, and then you are all set with a nice clean tank and new pump that will go another 20 years. You can also check all of the various rubber hoses to make sure none are deteriorated.

Do you have a part number for either one of these....the only thing I can find here in MT is spectra and airtex.

Walbro 526-1 -- fuel pump + installation kit (strainer, black fuel line clip, white fuel line clip, o-ring seal [all needed], and two hose clamps, 6" submersible 5/16" fuel hose [not needed], and pump cushion [nice to have but old one usually reusable]
or
Bosch 69101 + Walbro 400642 Installation Kit

The DENSO 9503003 sold by Rockauto looks like it is a rebranded Walbro 526-1 kit, so it should also be a good choice.
