Fuel pump replaced! (correctly)
Just replaced the stock fuel pump with a higher volume pump. I used the pump in this link.
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tbi/...fuel-pump.html
What a difference in drivability! Granted my old pump was only pumping 7.5 psi and the new is at 11.5 plus the potential additional volume.
I spent the time to drop the exhaust, rear-end, and tank to do the job the right way (4.5 hours). This project proved to be WAY easier than I would have thought using a floor jack, jack stands, and hand tools (for the most part)! So any one else thinking about doing their pump themselves by dropping the tank I highly recommend doing so.
Thanks for this board and the help I received,

Good job!
I actually prefer changing the fuel pump on these cars then the front springs

Good to know this is managable, want to move to a TPI pump a 2.0 Bar FPR.

I did it the right way with a friend. It took us about 2 days taking our time. We probably worked about 3 - 4 hrs each day with a few beers mixed in.
