In tank fuel pumps on stock carbed engines???

Not sure if its a myth or not, but I read somewhere that some of the LG4s had in-tank fuel pumps to assist with the mechanical ones. My car is originally an 86 firebird SE and sported the anemic LG4 and a 700R4 auto. Can anyone tell me if I've got the mystery pump or If I'm just really gullable. I'm trying to figure out a fuel delivery issue and don't want to be surprised when I drop the tank.

Don't worry about it. They were installed only in the 87 LG4.

It is true, some did have it. Some did not come with them but were retro-fitted by dealers per a TSB.

Most likely you don't have one; but the only way to know for sure is to look.
