TPI 350 pump is the same as the TTA pump! Figured that one out when I replaced my pump, I asked for the TTA pump, ended up being the same damn thing! Pablo was there I think ... hehe ...
Many people successfully swap more powerful engines into 305 cars w/o a problem so it certainly can be done. I'd make sure ANY pump holds pressure during a full throttle run via a gauge or by monitoring oxygen sensor output.
If you're looking to upgrade, the Walbro 255 lph pump is a great choice. When my stock pump was dying I replaced it with a Delco EP-381 rated at 41 GPH (155 lph) @ 50 psi. I'm told this pump was used in the GMC Syclone/Typhoon but I don't know that for a fact. Cost $88 from Fuel Injection Specialties a few years ago.

Hey Mark I think your part #s may be off. I just went to my GM dealer here in Germany and there computers show that the 305 TPI and the 350 TPI having the same EP-241 pump (for a 92 at least). When I asked about a 91 L98 Corvette he gave me EP-245 part no. How much do these usually cost? My dealer told me $137.00.
I did replace my 305 with a 350 and Im replacing my fuel sender anyways, so Id like to replace the pump while Im at it.

Randy,
Don't waste your money on a stock pump. You can buy a Walbro 255ltr/hr pump that looks stock and fits in the stock location perfectly. This pump will support 550hp ... and its cheaper than a GM pump. Do a search on the internet.

Randy, the part #s I listed came from Fuel Injection Specialties (they sell both) and are the best info I have. I have no way of knowing what the service books for the different years x-reference as a substitute.
You are a wise man to replace the pump while the tank is down. My stock pump was slowly dying @ 65K miles. Do yourself a favor and get the Walbro pump like the guys recommend.

TRAXION,
I have a question for you...actually 2.
I have a stock 305 TBI and I'm going to be putting a TPI in and was wondering if I need to change the fuel pump at all? For right now I'm just going to put the TPI on the 305, but later it will be put on a built 350 and I know I need to change the pump then. I just wanted to make sure I could just hook up the fuel lines as is now with putting a TPI on the 305.
Plus, you are close to me (if you're in Frederick, MD) and I was wondering if there are any speed shops around? I'm closer to BWI airport, but still, I'm willing to travel for good prices on parts.
Thanks again...
