fuel pump Q's

[SnickterP]

My fuel pump just died, so i was wondering what is hould go about doing about it. is the stock replacement fine, or should i plan on going with a better one, if there is such a thing? and bout how much do they ususally go for?

There's really no reason to upgrade from the OEM replacement. I think some people do get an aftermarket pump that has the ability to pump more liters per hour just because they might be cheaper.

Your SHO, unless very modified, can't make use of a higher flowing fuel pump.

I got mine from SpMotorsports because they are faster and cheaper than ford dealers around here. I went with the Walbro 155 LPH pump. I think it is also cheaper than stock. It was about $85 total with shipping.

Installation was a breeze except for the gas tank bolts that hold it to the car. If your car has been up north for any amount of time, be prepared to break the bolts off. I just put studs up there and it looks better than before. For the instructions, go to SHOtimes.

I just bought a oem replacement from the local parts store for $40 and a new sock for $3.50. It was a pretty simple job.

A bunch of fuel line check valve problems have been popping up recently. Since the tank has to come off for this part also, I would advise replacing this part at the same time.

sounds good to me. i was only wondering about a bigger fuel pump since i plan on doing nitrous soon, and sometimes they may require it

you can also get a 190 for 83 shipped, or a 255 for 93 shipped, from http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/

I would go with a Walbro 155lph or possibly 190lph. They are often sold under other brand names (Holley) with considerable markup. Look at some mustang performance parts sites to find good prices.
