I just pulled the bad fuel pump out need some recommendations. I pulled it the correct way, by lowering the tank, not cutting the hole. Yes it was a pain but the old one is out. Anyway, for you guys that have replaced your pump, would you recommend replacing the sending unit. Keep in mind this is from an '85 Iroc. Also, what fuel pump would you recommend as a replacement. Internal or External and which one? Thanks.

 

AC DELCO EP241, if you fuel gauge is not working a spectra FG20A

According to the listing you gave for the AC Delco, it is not compatible with an 85 TPI IRoc.

 

Nevermind. I think the compatability check on the ebay listing is messed up because when I look at SummitRacing, they list that as one of the options.

 

yes, the acdelco application listings are not always complete or correct.

 

After doing some research and calling SummitRacing it looks like the ACDelco EP241 is will NOT work for my car. Any other suggestion from you guys that have an 85 TPI that has replaced their fuel pump?

 

I put a Walbro 255 lph in my 87 TPI 350.

 

This is the recommendation I got from www.Hawksthirdgenparts.com. Is this really needed for the Walbro pump?

I have found nothing that tells me that this pump works for an 85 Iroc. Even when I called AC Delco, they say that the only Irocs that is works for is 89-90.

 

EP241 is correct for your 85 Iroc TPI.

 

Ordering tomorrow. Thanks guys.

 

Has anyone found this AC Delco EP241 kit any where besides the ebay link? Not crazy about the feedback that seller has....

Don't mind paying a few bucks more for better customer service/shipping.

 

Or has anyone delt with this company?? Looks like a good deal as well. A lot of people on ThirdGen talk good about this one. I'm not oppsed the AC Delco, just don't want to get burned by a bad seller/company

Well, I ordered the pump and sending unit today. Got a good deal on the sending unit ($90). Hopefully it will all be here soon.

 

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DO AN EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP. LMAO I went through hell on these damn things.

 

I'm not. I'm sticking with the in tank fuel pump. It is a pain in the butt to replace but I've made it this far.

 

OK, guys got a question...

Got my new pump and about to install it, here's my question though..

Since I dropped the tank, I just want some piece of mind before I put the tank back in, is there any way to test the pumo beforeI pu it in? can i just put 12v to it to make sure it runs?

 

Yes. Run a wire from the positive of your battery to your fuel pump to be sure it turns on.

 

OK, got the new pump in and its runnin great. Thanks for all the help!!

 

Same here. The fuel pump is in and the car has fired up fine. Now to get all of the other stuff put back together. I need to replace the swaybar endlinks. I had to break one of mine to get it off. It doesn't matter I was going to replace them anyway. Any suggestions on replacements. I am going to bead blast the swaybar and panhard bar before I reinstall them. Probably painting them red.
