How big of a fuel pump to go?
Complete newbie here. I have a stock 1990 5.0 convert except for a cold air intake, an 80mm MAS, and Ford Racing High-flow 19lb injectors. My fuel pump quit working and now I need to get a new one but I'm not sure which brand to go with or what size to get. In the next 6-8 months, I was planning on installing a Cobra Upper and Lower intake.
Thanks for the help.

RE: How big of a fuel pump to go?
I told my mechanic that I was planning on installing the Cobra Intake and he suggested the 80mm MAF. Is he wrong about that? I think its the fuel pump b/c when I start the car the RPMs wont go past 500 and the fuel pump is really really loud and there is a popping sound and then the car dies out.
Do youguys think it is something besides the fuel pump? I haven't checked the fuel reply yet. Also, would I be better off going with an inline fuel pump instead of an intank one?

No stay with the intank. And when is the last time you changed your fuel filter?
