Default Fuel pump recommendations for an 87
I only want to do this once. Summit says they don't carry a Walbro for an 87.

I use a Walbro 255lph for my 88, purchased from Racetronix. Should be several on Summit that push less fuel than that that should fit you if you want less.

Just ran a search and saw a 102lph that says it fits an 87.

I've used the Bosch unit in both my 87 and my current 86. Very happy with my choice.

I ordered one from DeatschWerks. I believe he said it's a Bosch. I've only used Walbro in the past. I guess they are getting out of some of the older models.

I got the Racetronix kit. It was a one stop shop and I never had to leave the house for the parts shop. Now the liquor store or bar was a different story. Approximately a 6 hour job including lunch and a few drinks.

I don't remember it taking 6 hours but with my luck it may be more.

I took the pump out, broke for lunch, ran into a couple of friends and had a few with them. Decided to walk home since I had a few and it was a couple miles away
