Fuel pump questions
I have to buy a new fuel pump. And was looking at options... Vettes have a factory walbro pump? Does that mean if I buy another walbro that it is plug n play. Bc a walbro is 100$ mist others are 250. But I heard u have to mess with the wiring harness if u buy a new walbro. All help is appreciated. Thx

The one I installed MAY not have been a 255. It WAS part # L710650197 and did not need the bucket altered. States it's good for 600hp. I'm at 650+rwhp and still holding 53psi

You would have to cut your bucket off to add another $100 walbro pump.
If you are interested, I have a LPE fuel pump for sale. Its a high volume pump and is completely plug and play. No wiring messes, no cutting, etc... All you will have to do is remove your current pump and switch over the bucket lids/fuel sending unit.
