Default what fuel pump???

im pretty shure my stock fuel pump went out on me the otherday cause my car just shut off while i was driving and wouldnt start up again. one thing i noticed was that when i turn the ignition on i didnt hear the fuel pump kick on at all, so im pretty shure that my fuel pump is the cause of this problem, but anyways, i will soon be spraying a 100+ shot of nitrous on my motor and planned on changing out the fuel pump anyways, so i was wondering if there is a certain type or brand of pump i should buy. or if i should just get another stock one??? let me know.

The only thing that freaked me out when I replaced my pump is that the wire terminals are exposed in the tank....it is normal...but talk about scary

Check out these instructions:

You will need the disconnect lines to remove the fuel lines...I am not really sure how you would do it without them

I bought 2 which had 4 different sizes. They came in real handy when I did my H/C/I

They were only $10 at NAPA...I always look for an excuse to buy new tools
