Default 84 fuel pump replacement

My 84 fuel pump went out so am replacing. Do you guys use any type of gasket sealer on the large rubber gasket or just install it dry? Thanks!

Install the 85-87 vette AC Delco pump. It's a better choice and a direct replacement pump. Regulate it to 13psi and you are golden. No sealant needed on rubber gasket, but I would replace that as well if it's original. Good luck.

Thanks for the info! My C4 is carbed so just using a 22 psi pump and regulating it down to 5 psi going into a 1405 edelbrock. Kind of a bitch getting at those rubber hoses but did replace them!

OH! In that case you can disregard my post. I thought you were still running the CFI. Did you remove it or come that way?

I removed it, I like old school stuff, zz4 intake, 1405 eddy, isky solid cam, dart heads, and a 65 chevelle cast iron distributor. Runs great and easy to tune for me. Z51 suspension sure handles great compared to my 76 L82 I had years ago! Greg
