I've got a 1991 GT that I've had since I was 18 (I just turned 38). Despite my wife's occasional protests, I had the good sense to hang on to the car when I stopped driving it shortly after we got married (12 1/2 years ago). It's been in the garage pretty much the entire time it's been sitting. On the other hand, I did not have the good sense to drain the fuel tank when I parked it, so I'm sure I've got a tank full of jello.
I'm going to restore the car, but at the present time, I just want to get it running again. So I'm planning on replacing the entire tank assembly (tank, sending unit, pump bracket, pump, etc.). My eventual restoration plans will include a modified engine, so at some point, the stock capacity on the fuel pump won't do it. I'd like to avoid dropping the tank again to upgrade the fuel pump, so my question is can I go ahead and upgrade the fuel pump to a higher capacity and maintain driveability given that everything north of there (injectors, pressure regulator) will still be stock for now?
Thanks,
Travis
