*I did this on my 02 2.4, not sure if the wiring is different on pre 2000 or 03-05 cars though*
Buy the pump and the wiring harness from
Racetronix
start by lifting your car up via jackstands or hoist
disconnect the fuel line going to the tank and the one connector on the right hand side along with the evap line
disconnect the fuel feed and return lines from the hard line fittings
here you can see one of the bolts holding up the tank, take out both of them, 1x on each side.
drop the tank.
remove the factory pump/pump holder
you will need to use an air grinder/dremel/file basically whatever you got to take off the tabs on the bottom of the racetronix pump in the pic you cant see them though
take the air grinder/dremel/file again to the stock pump holder and get rid of the castings lines/ridges
now the pump can be put into the stock holder but the clip wont lock onto the new pump assembly, i solved this by using a air grinder by notching the aluminum casing just enough so the clip could catch
*i had also tried taking the red aluminum sleeve off of the racetronix pump but it then was too small to fit and be secured inside the stock pump holder
reassemble the pump as per the directions and the repinning for the fuel level sender is included as well, very easy to do
put new pump assembly in the fuel tank and connect your harness.
reinstall the fuel tank
reinstall the fuel lines to the corresponding areas, green clip goes to the fuel filter and the blue clip goes to the return line, reconnect the evap line, plug harness back into the car
then route your wiring harness however you see fit.
hope this helps
Hmmm
I didn't have to trim anything on the pump for it to fit, just the cup housing. Opposed to removing material from the pump sleeve I took some material from the tab itself and the cup/ plastic cup retainer.
There were also a few fittings on the pump that fit loosely. Ended up purchasing tighter clamps from MCMaster's website. I haven't installed mine yet but it's ready to go in whenever my engine is finished. Clyde did most of the work with the hoses since he had that part and I was messing with the cup and pump sleeve so I can't recall everything offhand.
Have you tested it, any fuel cut issues?

Nice

Nice.....so the cup remains in tact....just needs "massaged" a bit to get the pump to fit in it.
Cant wait for mine to show up. Let us know about any fuel cut issues, but i doubt you will have any with that setup.
Any more pics?? especially showing the tabs you removed from the bottom of the pump??
the little tabs are just casting flash really, you will see what i mean once you get the pump in your hands. i didnt take any other pics of the pump though sorry
when installing the pump you might as well do the fuel filter and pre pump filter as well. the pre pump filter was only like $8
you can sorta see the tabs im talking about by the little brown cover in this pic
Tabs
i WAS going to do the Blazer swap but now i think i may just go this route. Just hope there isn't any 1/4 or 1/8 tank cut. Any issus yet...even though it's only the 2nd-3rd day you've had it installed lol?
Heh.... and I was going to buy an MSD inline for 109 bucks. I like the look of this sucker better....
This is one of those moments I <3 JBO and its members.
on racetronix page its says plastic tank only. Does anyone know if this pump fits in the j body metal tank?
not too sure on the metal tank, someone might have to get the pump and give it a whirl

Im sure they say plastic tank for a reason.. I thought about calling and asking why, but never got around to it..

I think you are forgetting that these are desinged for the F-bodies....not J....
just because it will not work in the metal tank F-body.....does not mean it will not for the J-body. What are the differences between the pumps on the J-cars for metal/plastic tanks.....anyone know?
it will work on the 99 metal tank only as we have the same fittings electrical wise on the top of the tank...and they are the hybrid car to the 00+ conversions on everything. Evap canister outback, unlike 95-98
Pile O @!#$....
well the wires are the same just the connectors are different couldn't u just re wire it? i check the part numbers for the a 98 pump and 99 and there the same. if it wont work i'll make it work lol..
anyone tried putting this in a 99 2200? or can i assume cody already tried it and was successful?
I never installed one on the 99 yet. But it "should" work since the wiring is exactly the same. I don't know about the clearances inside. I am searching down a plastic tank myself because mines all rusted and there won't be a spec of rust on my car anymore before it hits the road again.
cool looks like i will give it a shot.
alrighty so i got a 99 2200 metal tank, super 60 running 6 psi boost, with rc 310 injectors and fmu
got this pump and decided to give it a shot. heres what i found out.
1) the pump is bigger then the stock pump even when you take it out of the red protective shroud.
2) so you gotta make something to hold it where the stock sleeve that surrounded the stock fuel pump wouldve (i used 1/8 inch fuel line hose wrapped around to just complete install still looking for something else<<<<<< this is by no means the right answer)
3) electrical components are the same, simply plugs right in the factory harness and like stated above even gives you the means to hook up your factory fuel level sending unit. and even though i bought the upgraded harness its not installed.
4) after putting everything back together decided to put about a gallon of gas in it to see if it would actually function. and to my surprise it fired right up! reved it up and couple times watching my fuel pressure gauge and wideband and the was no drop in fuel pressure, no sputter, never went lean
so all in all worth it. just need to find a sleeve that is thinner then the stock one.
the upgraded wiring will actually help your pump run stronger in those WOT situations.
