Default 82 fuel pump upgrade

for those with a 1982 vette .when you replace your fuel pump a good up grade is to buy the 1985 vette fuel pump.it is the same pump just higher pressure.you will only have to change two wires from the old wire eyelets to the snap in plug .the new wire plug in is in the box with the new pump.in thse pics you can see that the pump comes out the top goes in place of the old pump .this did improve my idle some but i really notice alot on take off.http://85fuelpump.shutterfly.com/pictures/14#10

No, It does however smooth out the Idle some as it will have a better constant FP. Great mod for the CF.
