Time for an update. I installed a new Kirban AFPR today. I was excited to find out this one actually adjusted the fuel pressure lol.. And then I was utterly let down when I fould out that I could not adjust the fuel pressure over 38psi. I haven't looked at the pump yet -- I'm assuming the problem is here. Is it possible that a hose is cracked or something? I guess the only way to find out for sure is to drop the tank (something I'm not looking forward to). Anything I should know about dropping the tank? I helped my brother on his Cougar but that was probably 5 years ago. Also, I was wondering where everyone got their Walbro pumps? Just looking for a reliable source. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Tom posted a direct website no too long ago....Mine came in a holley box. Walbro makes Holley pumps. Have you tried pinching the return line?

If you pinch it like you would a garden hose to stop flow, you should see a spike in pressure.....

Still haven't gotten around to pinching the return line -- if the pressure doesn't spike, what problem would that point to?

Also, the link posted has 255lph kits and "High Pressure" 255lph kits. Which one is best for my application? Thanks a lot!

Pulled the pump the other day. No real setbacks other than rusty bolts! I pulled out the old pump which had a big WALBRO stamp on it... and it rattled. Something was definitely loose inside. So I installed by BBK 255lph pump which had a big WALBRO stamp on it and voila! Back into the boost! Hey, I like my car again. Feels like the first time...
