Try casethecorvetteman he on the board from time to time. He might be able to help you out and is somewhat local.

g'day mate, there are quite a few places that will have your fuel pump in stock, unfortunately i only know the WA places... but if you pm Casethecorvetteman, he will have a place you can go to straight away.
just do a search on his name in this forum

Sh*t blokes i wish youd let me know about this abit earlier!!! I couldve almost had one on its way for ya!!

If its urgent, try Phill Ryder at Vette Connection, that is in Seaford, Victoria, he should have one there. His number is 03 9776 4114. If not, let me know ASAP and ill see if i can get you one out of the US.

Ill look up the part number now and make a phone call and see if i can get a price EX USA for ya.

Ill post back as soon as i do that, and let you know what i find.

P.S. Coupeguy2001, ill look into the booster parts for ya mate, that could take some time though. Bad time of the week for me to track items down locally, ill have a busy time next few days. Is it for an 86??

Ok, i made a call and got a price for ya, the GM number is 25116163 and im waiting on a price for that (ill post that up as soon as i get it), the after market is about $128 USD and may take abit longer to get. These are both EX USA.

I have some parts there ready to go, just waiting on one more part for my order, if you want me to get you the part let me know as soon as you can, and ill be able to have it shipped over here with my order.

They're hard to find here in the U.S. man I cant imagine how hard it must be to get one over there. Good luck!

No worries mate, If you can get one from Phill, do that, cause it will be alot quicker for you (dont know what it will be like price wize though), but if you dont mind waiting, ill grab you one no worries.

Im about to go to work so i wont be back here until about 10:30pm at least, but just leave a post here telling me if you want it or not

Default booster rebuild

I did some checking, and I can get a rebuild for $100 U.S.
The parts have to be more reasonable than that.
I have a spare booster that's leaking, and I'd like to see what it would take to find the rebuild kit for it and how much. I'm more like on a fishing expedition, if there's fish, I'd cast my line.
