Good point. I'm leaning towards a new Walbro 255, non HP in the hopes it is quieter. With the V8 car (someday) being built, I suppose I could always do this and if the Walbro is a screamer, stick it in the V8 car since I won't be able to hear anything above the engine anyhow. ;)

RE: ARG - Fuel Pump dying
again. :(
I really dont think you should replace a failing system with a 16 year old
fuel pump.
Buy a new walbro drop-in, remove the pierburg and in-tank pump, and call
it a day. week. whatever.
