which walbro fuel pump?
In searching for Walbro fuel pumps, I found a bunch of in-tank pumps that are 255lb/hr pumps.
GSS342, GSL392, GSS340, GSS341, and GCA758-2. The last one is the one specified for our cars, but it comes with a bunch of other crap that I don't think I need. I've seen somebody here mention that the GSS340 is what came with their Hawks kit.
So... which pump? I want a stock-type in-tank replacement that can support high horsepower. It also needs to be able to provide the LS1's 58lbs.

Re: which walbro fuel pump?
I wish I could tell you the exact part number of my pump, but I do know that all I did was search on summit's site for a 255 Walbro pump that was stock style, in tank, and it came up on the search just fine.

The GCA758-2 is what I was planning on getting for Berlinetta #2. Not sure how much HP I'll end up making, but should be in the 400+ range.

Re: which walbro fuel pump?
From what I can see, the GCA758-2 is just one of the other models, plus a bunch of other crap that has no use, and it's $25-35 more.

Re: which walbro fuel pump?
I'm running the same one that I have in my Mustang, wish I could remember the part number, but it works just fine for me....it came with a plug to splice into the original wiring in the tank and haven't had any problems at all.

Re: which walbro fuel pump?
Yeah, that would be the "other crap". I can live without it. Fuel hose is plentiful and cheap, I can make my own adapter harness, and if I can't source a new strainer for a couple bucks, I'll reuse the one in the car... it's only been a couple thousand miles since I replaced the fuel pump anyway.

Re: which walbro fuel pump?
make sure its truly submersible. I put a regular fuel hose in my tank on the sled, and it lasted less than a year before it got mushy (110 didnt help either i suppose)

Re: which walbro fuel pump?
I am using the GSS340, but then again I havent fired my car up yet to make 100% sure it's right. It was a direct fit though.
