So my fuel pump completely died on me the other day and I need a replacement ASAP. I see there are a lot of choices out there for the EFI 5.0's... I need something inexpensive but also reliable, my car is a daily driver that sees a lot of use.
I have heard good things about the Walbros, which I would probably have to order, or I might be able to get a Holley or an Edlebrock locally. Is any one of these pumps better quality than the others?
As far as flow rates, I see most people on here are running a 190. Is that going to be suitable for a stock 5.0L? I've heard the car will see no diference between an 88 and a 190 as it only uses as much fuel as it needs, but a 255 may be too much if you don't need the flow. True? Do the larger pumps (i.e. 255, 190, 155) have a shorter lifespan than smaller ones, or are they all the same?
I know I will need a new in-tank strainer and should install a new fuel filter at the same time. Is there anything else I will need to complete the installation? A gasket for where the pickup assembly meets the tank or anything like that? How about any special tools to R&R the pump? My car won't even start, so I want to grab all the supplies at once.
Thanks in advance, I did search, but most of the fuel pump threads I found were regarding modded cars and I want to make sure I get the correct one for my engine which doesn't have HCI or a SC yet.
