Title: 2.3 or 5.0 stock replacement fuel pump?
Post by: booksix on June 26, 2009, 05:10:32 PM
My 255 walbro died after less than a year and I need to throw a stock replacement in for now (never got the 5.0 TT done anyway).  Autozone lists a difference pump for the TC and the 5.0 Sport.  Which one would be rated for more volume, to go with my 5.0 HO?

The 5.0 HO & 2.3T used a 88lph pump(identical except for sock, which is determined by the tank)... If you want a bit of a upgrade, can get the 3.8 Super Coupe pump that's rated for 95lph...

Btw the 5.0 SL0, used a 66lph pump...

As long as the strainer fits the pump should be fine...

Think maybe you got one of those fake Walbros from China??? I've had a 190lph Walbro in mine for eight years, no issues... The shiznitty Carter I originally installed, croaked in less than two years...
