Need more fuel!

Anyone have an easy way to replace the fuel pump? I just put in a sc and I'm putting on a zl1 pump. Any help is appreciated.

You could always cut a hole under your back seat to access the fuel pump, take the old one out, and drop a new one in

Send a message via AIM to epstein
and if the pump ever goes bad and you did it correct you have a ready made access port.

BTW if You go ZL1 Dont forget the ADm FPCM~

To do it the right way, plan on making a day job out of it. It would include dropping the exhaust and the rear cradle, then dropping the tank. If you go that route, try to do it with as little gas in the tank as possible.

I did mine on jackstands in my garage... however, there will be a hole cut in the floorboard next time if the need should arise I have to mess with the fuel pumps again.

The line on top if my fuel pump cracked and i was leaking gas all over the place. I pulled the back seat out*"opened the trap door" and swaped out pumps. It took about 15 minutes.

Personally when I do mine I will drop the cradle and exhaust the first time and cut an access hole just in case I need to do it again in the future.
