I redid the post and i previewed it and it worked fine so here ya go if you need to print it out.

ok well this weekend i finally decided to install my walbro fuel pump.

Pump number: GSS340M
From: http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/

When you order it ,tell them that you are putting it on a cavalier. and to send a installing kit, which costs $15 (give or take).

you need the o ring, a new accordion looking tube, or you can use the stock one if you don't mess it up.
the wire connector.
clamps
and the filter. (white sock)

To drop the fuel tank, you just need some disconnect tools for the fuel lines. Re-leave the fuel pressure before u do them, it makes it easier and less messy.

Once you have the tank out, and the fuel module out. the "cup" looks like this.....


You need to modify the cup so that the pump gets fuel.

For all the people who had trouble under a 1/4 a tank of gas. this is what you do.





You can see how much i cut. basically the whole bottom. You do know need the plastic tube that is inside the module, or the little yellow thing.

Make sure to have the accordion tubes on all the way. and clamp them down.

Also, you can see how the connector was plug and plug, no cutting or anything required.



Make sure you have the fuel pump all the way down. You use the stock rubber cup thing that the stock fuel pump was in. its hard to get down into the hole, so lube it up some. and it will go down.

Also the tube was hard to get on, did the same thing. I also made a small slit on either end of the tube, to get them to stretch over the nipple type things. Only do that if you cant get it on, otherwise you might cut too much, and have to get a new tube.

I think that is all there was to it. Put the fuel tank back in, and disconnect the lines.

When i started the car i had less then 1/4 a tank of gas and it started perfect. I primed the pump three times just to makes sure. And i bypassed my msd inline.

I drove it around, the car feels so much better. My egts are 200 degrees lower, and my car doesn't have a hesitating feel, like it did with the msd inline.

Huge thanks to Nick, Changeforabutton. He basically walked me through a ton of it. Especially the cutting and what not.

very nice, I have heard about this, and I just stepped into this one, and this is perfect, thanks for the pics too, that should be really helpful, my pump goes in on thursday

cutting the cup (module) is just one way to do it. and its a backwater kind of way. just buy the right pump and dont worry about the fuel cut. 255lph is overkill for just about anything you can do to a j-body. the walbro 255lph is used in the ZO6 and the ford GT. walbro make a 188lph pump that was used in older corvettes, it also has the jet barb which is the whole issue with the fuel cut. i would say just look up that pump and get one, drop it in and dont worry about it.


Guess how much we owe New Orleans..........nothing
