my fuel pump is leaking on my 75 1.8 and need to replace it so my garage doesn't explode one of these days when the water heater kicks on. The car was originally FI but the guy I bought it from had converted it to carbs if that makes any difference. Any suggestions on a good replacement fuel pump?
thanks! Dan |

ok so looking at pumps online trying to compare prices with other sellers. the one in the link doesn't have a model number but the picture on the page says 40105. This is 40105 from pegasus which doesn't state the same specs.
https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productde....asp?RecID=8440 I'm a bit confused. So basically I just need one that can do about 3 psi and the regulator will control it to keep it at 2.5 to 3 psi? am i understanding this correctly? |
