Fuel Pump Replacement

KobraLX · 07-31-2001, 11:51 AM

I have a stock motor that is fixing to be rebuilt and in my preparations of the new motor I am going to install a 190lph fuel pump to satisfy my upcoming motor's 24lb injectors. At 183,000 miles, I figure is is good insurance also (really didn't care until my fiancee's car quit on her while driving thanks to a old fuel pump).

Anyway can I swap the pump out for the bigger one by itself? Or will something else have to be changed also - namely will the stock fuel regulator handle the extra volume for a few months until the new motor and regulator land in the engine bay?

Plus everyone offers a fuel pump - any brands to stay away from or that are recommended??

Thanks for the help.

You can change the pump without worrying about other components.

I've only had one high volume fuel pump so I can't really give you any advice as to what brand. You probably can't go wrong with the Ford pump.
