This is the cheapest price I have been able to find lately, most everybody else is asking $120-$135.

I think the walbro for gm is pretty universal. I think the GN F body and corvettes all share the same part number. Last I checked anyways. I didnt' check the link. looks like a good deal. I will have to check into it. I do need one.

I have used this exact same pump in everything from Fieros to 3rd and 4th Gen F-bodies, and even in 96-97 GM Pickup trucks (much cheaper than replacing a whole $400 sending unit/pump assy). The only thing this pump doesn't really work good in is the 97-up GTP's because there is no output on the pump chassis for the venturi (secondary) pump circuit those cars require in order to fill the canister the pump sits in with fuel. The 97-up Vortec Trucks have the same type of pump-in-canister but the venturi circuit in the trucks gets it's fuel flow from a special T adapter that a "standard" pump just slips into. Pretty slick design really; allows for the use of just about any standard pump like the walbro; why GM didn't use it in the GTP's is beyond me.

I have used that same pump in my 3800SC swap, still going today. I got it off Ebay for that price, they are up every once in a while. That is a good price from an actual dealer for that product.

I hear a lot of people saying that they are loud, I don't think so at all. My IC pump is MUCH louder than that pump. I can't even hear the fuel pump with the engine runnig. All I can say is if you can hear your fuel pump, your exhaust isn't pissing enough people off.

90 bucks for the 255LPH Walbro pump and 100 for the "High Pressure" version.

Do not order from that company unless you have no need for any customer service whatsoever. They will ship you the product as listed on the site but thats it.

Check it out - somebody is making knockoffs, stamped like the original and all. Crazy.

not supprising coming out of china, they make fake duplicates of prescription drugs in china that do not even act as the drug and sometimes contain very harmful components like lead and then sell them through the net to american venders. due to the way the drug market works in the US you can actually recieve these fake pills at your local drug store

so this uncludes the sending unit? my gas guage is fucked and according to this site( http://www.fieropride.com/tech/gas_guage.htm ) the cause is a faulty sending unit. Also will this pump be too much for a 2.hate? I need to drive with the 2.hate for about another month or so before I go L67.

Series8217 · Post by **Series8217** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 4:39 pm

It doesn't include a sending unit.
GM sending units are very expensive. You can probably make a universal one work though. I saw a thread about using a Summit one.. it's on .nl somewhere.

Thanks, I guess i'll just keep a close eye on the guage, and not let it get lower than half a tank, untill I do the swap.
