Get a Walbro replacement, these people make all the pumps for the OEs very dependable and not expensive. JDs Performance has good deals on them. I think this is the website:
http://www.jdsperformance.com

Get the 255LPH pump and its pretty much a drop in fit. Just remove the fuel door, about 12 bolts from the tank sending unit, lift the sending unit out and the pump is part of the sending unit assembly.

Here's the one that I'm running, http://www.racetronix.com/Racetronix-C44-FPK.html

Kit uses a Walbro pump as recommended by tjwong with some reworked wiring.

Overnight shipping from Canada could be expensive. I ordered the kit with the 307 pump. It was shipped last monday and hopefully it will be here today.

Default BEST Performance FUEL PUMP for '89 L98 ???

I've tried the

GM Vortec truck fuel pump(which wasn't enough for my power level)

I am currently using the highest of the racetronix pumps(340?) and all is well.

Why the hell have you disabled you instant messaging, can't reach you that way either! :mad

Makes me really question your operation, as how can you possibly stand behind what you sell, if no one can ever reach to to order? :bs

are you hiding something??? :jester
