Question on BBK fuel pump Install?
I have basically completed my bbk fuel pump install but I forgot to use this little plastic clip that goes inside in between the fuel pump and the strainer. Do I really need this. My stock pump was wide open and didnt have a clip like this. I have already assembled the entire thing and locked it into place. Do I really need to take it apart again to put that little clip that Does nothing I assume. The strainer is on fine and I dont know what that clip does. Thanks for your help.

While the topic is up. How hard and how long does it take to change the fuel pump?
, not hard...it just takes some time becauseyou need to pull the whole tank out. In addition, you will require the fuel-line release tool (very cheap).

They know....I got mine at Napa...
It will release the fuel lines and the A/C lines.....useful if you are doing a H/C/I too!

Nice, I'm changing mine to a lower psi pump (for a carb) but I'm probably going to still stick with an electric pump. Would I still have to mount it inside the tank do you think? (sorry for hi-jacking this post)

RE: Question on BBK fuel pump Install?
Not sure about carbs....But I know with a return-style fuel pump, it does not matter how high the volume of the pump is....if the motor does not need it, it spits it back in the tank.
I threw the 255lph on there....not that I needone that big, but in the future if I decide to throw a blower on there, I do not have to dig in the tank again...

Alright, thanks. Everyone I asked said that it had to be changed to have a lower psi pump.... oh well maybe I can just drop the tank and throw a fuel cell in there and wire it like a racecar...
