Stock 5.0 Thunderbird 1988 w/OG fuel pump that just went out.
Can I replace it with any style pump? Mechanic is saying there are two different style pumps for this car, or something. I just need to know if that's correct and what the replacement pump is I can use.
Please let me know ASAP, this is an I'm stuck in a city far away emergency,
The pump itself can be used from a Mustang 5.0HO, just reuse your pick up tube, etc. Get a new sock for your car though, but use the Stang pump.
And before someone says it doesn't work....I'm just one of many who have a Stang pump in our cars..I have a Walbro 225 from a Mustang...works great.
Good luck!
Can I use an aftermarket Airtex to get me by for the time being? Mechanic keeps saying something about the stock fuel pump being a different style unit, etc, but I thought you can use any fuel pump if it meets LPH requirements and fitting.
Yes I have a Mustang Airtex pump in my car .
Problem fixed with Airtex E2024 guys. Should get me home.
Maybe it's time to get a different style of mechanic.
