So I am 85% sure my fuel pump is going out, my PO said he took it off his el camino anyways...
I do not want a re-built one, nor to pay 400 bucks from my local parts store.. I have been looking at universal pumps. My question is. I have a 1.8 with a D-Jet from a 1.7. and I was wondering how much GPH and PSI is needed... And, I have seen guys install them in the front trunk. Where? and is this the best location? seams like it... My location is under the car, on the batt side, and i do not like that idea. and last, dose anybody have good brands? and where to get them at a fair price? |

So nobody know what PSI is needed? or how much gallons per hour?
sounds like its around 50PSI? that is cool a BMW 325 pump will work, and 50 bucks is a good deal. but, sumit also has a few with higher than 50 PSI. dont know if that would be good or bad.... |

Is the Bosch pump for the 75-76 rated at 100-110 psi?? excess goes back to the tank anyway. |

The pumps have two ports (not three), one in and one out. IIRC, the '75/'76 2 liter cars also had the pump up front. I'm guessing it was also a two port pump. |
