Fuel pump install?
Okay I did some searching and didnt find much.
I am new to Vettes and just got mine 2 months ago. I had a turbo Iroc-Z with a LS swap before this car.
I ran twin walbaros in my camaro. I think for the vette I wanna run a single aeromotive 320lph pump.
I have a 2000 FRC and just did a cam and ls6 intake. Now I was adjusting the e-brake yesterday and noticed where the sending unit is on the tanks.
Is there only 1 pump? Or 2?
Anyone have a write up on what I need to do?
Thanks
Jay

the single 320 would be nice, but you wont' be able to get it into the bucket.
On the drivers side, take the rear fender liner out. Then there is a metal shield, there is one 10mm nut and one 13mm bolt holding that shield on. Remove those and the shield will come off, you can see the bulk head that holds the pump.
The wiring plugs into it and there are 3 hoses coming out. One for feed, one for return, one that gets gas from the passenger side tank.
For a heads & cam car a Lingefelter 255 swap would be plenty. It gives you a new bucket and feed line. Putting in a 320 would be nice, but you'll never get that bucket apart w/o destroying it.
