Fuel pump upgrade for 406
About to buy a new fuel pump, I see on the CF search engine that the company Racetronix and Walbro product is popular.
Do they offer a CF discount?
Is the wiring kit necessary for the fuel pump upgrade and what is the stock 85 fuel pump pressure?
Oh yeah, I will likely keep my 24# injectors for now but my fuel pump is stock from the 1985 production year.

Racetronics fuel pump :cheers:
No discount that I know of.
Do a search - I bought mine direct, but I recall there are vendors mentioned that handle them.
The plug and play direct wiring may not be necessary, but considering the age of our cars and the wiring I opted for a straight connection, with relay to alternator. I want to be sure there is plenty of fuel for my new 383 :D . It is a clean and easy install.
I believe our (85's) pressure is between 38-46lbs depending on engine requirements.

Walbro 340 here-and havn't heard of any discounts.....I ran my own wiring "direct relayed" harness rather than buy a kit-and yup, it works just fine!
If you're not sc with fmu, it should be fine without the wiring kit-also I've seen a lot of folk run the 307 instead of the 340 without problems (not sc/fmu that is).
