OK...little more info for you guys.

Running an Edelbrock HI-FLO TPI
BBK 52mm throttle body
Lucas 24lb injectors

What would be the recommended fuel pump PSI/GPH i should run with this setup?

I like the EP381, personally. I think it'd fit your build. I dislike Spectra brand components as they're pretty craptastic overall. Lowest bidder China stuff. Fine for daily driver cars but when you're pushing performance I hate sticking them on.

EP381 is 50-60gph @ 65-75psi.

Note: It's quiet! I had a Walbro 255 before and it was stupidly loud.

ok, THTANNER, I took your advice...I ordered the full kit AND ordered the EP381 to go with it. Worst case, I have the Spectra fuel pump as a back up!!

should be here by the weekend!!:thumbsup:

OK....THAT was fun:eek:
I knew pulling the tank was gonna be a PIA!

so....got it out....but i will prob have to drop the rear end even more to put the new one in. :(

the gas....well....smelled like paint thinner, literally. Testors.....took me back to the days of my youth building 1:24 scale model cars...

It's a fun process! While it is out, check the filler neck for cracks or leaks. They're know for it, even aftermarket tanks. Replaced my Spectra tanks recently due to a leak there.

Got it....will check it out....

also, notice my gas cap does not fit the new tank?:huh:

With aftermarket tanks you need to use the included cap, or one from a second generation camaro/firebird.

Check the angle of the filler neck prior to assembly. Had to have mine cut and welded...
