ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION??????????

[87_luxury_sport]

NEED HELP INSTALLING A MR GASKET ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ON MY 87 MONTE CARLO!

 

[Jman]

mount it near the tank on frame rail, hook up the fuel line, wire it up and your done.

Is it new? if so there should be instructions with it.

WHICH LINE FROM THE TANK DO I HOOK IT TO?

 

[Jman]

the feed line. it will be the large one. Your sender will have 2-or 3 lines

feed, return, vent. some have 2 some have 3

SO WHEN I DISCONNECT THE MANUAL PUMP I JUST LEAVE THE LINES SITTING THERE AND RUN THE HOSE FROM THE BIGGER LINE STR8 TO THE CARB???

I had a Mr. Gasket pump, and I hated it. I have a factory 350 out of like a 93 buick roadmaster with a q-jet carb and everytime I would get on it, it would get to about 60 mph and start crapping out like it wouldn't be getting enough fuel to the carb, I would have to let off the gas and wait a couple of seconds for the pump to catch up. Then it finally went out about 7 months after I got it in the High School parking lot. I went with a Holley Blue pump and It works WAY better. Just a suggestion.

oh ok this is jus temporary tho...and i wanted to make sure i hook it up right. any suggestions?

 

[montessaj]

On hooking it up from the feed line to the carb do as the JMAN said, just hook the larger hose up. The pump to tank should be pretty cut and dry take the feed line and hook it into the in part on the pump. I hope this helps.

ok...do i do anything wit the other line after disconnecting it from the manual pump?

 

[montessaj]

That should be the return line...hmm...Not sure. I'll go out and look on my car this morning when I get off work and see what I did with that one.
