I have an 84 and replaced the fuel pump with a racetronix fuel pump last winter. One thing I noticed when changing it was that the pump was much heavier than the one in the tank. The car ran fine after replacement but today it stalled out about 10 miles from home. It felt like no or limited gas was getting to the engine. It finally died and would not start. I had changed the fuel filter also and was puzzled as to what was the problem. I did not hear the fuel pump come on when I would turn the key to ignition. I checked the fuse and it was OK. I disconnected the plug going to the fuel pump and there was power there for two seconds after turning the key as there should be. I decided to remove the fuel pump and see what was the problem. After removal I saw the fuel pump outlet had slipped out of the rubber nozzle that connected it to the fuel line. This wound may have been self inflicted by improper installation but I decided to cable tie the fuel pump to the return line for additional support. The rubber nozzle and associated clips are the only things that keep the fuel pump connected to the fuel line. Adding the cable ties should provide more support. I also noticed that the inlet filter on the pump was just below the fuel return line. This may have been providing some downward pressure on the pump which helped work its way off the nozzle. I rotated the filter so it was not in the path of the fuel return line.

 

Did you remove the pulsator and replace it with the supplied rubber hose?
