Remember the days when a fuel pump was on the engine?Now its in the gas tank and cost about 500.00 bucks and then the labor which is about half more.The after market stuff wont hold up but is cheaper.I buy parts off of evil bay for a fraction of a new one.How I long for a 1969 anything.

I wonder if a plain old electric fuel pump couldn’t be rigged inline and work just as well. Once I had a dog bite through the fuel lines underneath an F-150 with dual fuel tanks. The replacement fuel line cost over a hundred dollars and there were warnings, “Do not use flexible fuel hose to repair.” I bought a short piece of plain old flexible hose and a couple of clamps and reconnected the fuel line and I never had a problem, I sold the truck nearly fifteen years later and it was still working fine.
