Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? January 11, 2011, 04:06:05 PM Anyone replace a fuel pump in an 86-88 Thunderbird/Cougar with a Stock 5.0? What about in an 88 thunderbird/cougar with a 3.8? They the pumps should be the same.What pump, brand, model/part number did you use. It shouldn't matter what cluster you have, I don't think. There are pumps available which look like long skinny soda cans which supposedly work and are generally under $100, and there are factory looking replacements from Bosch for example which run upwards of $250. What can I use? What is the most economical way to do this, should I have to?For Example, from Rock Auto. Notice the difference between the Bosch looking pumps and the delphi one. Quote Selected

Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #4 – January 11, 2011, 10:57:38 PM Interesting. I'm going to do a little research now. Look up mustang ones and see if they are the same part numbers, etc. The one that came out of your car, it looked like one of the bottom ones from the picture, right? The small tube shaped one fit right in the original hanger and plugged right in? It was a stock 88 thunderbird with a SO 5.0 at this point? Do you happen to have the receipt or the part number?

Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #6 – January 11, 2011, 11:24:48 PM And you had this on a stock 5.0 in the beginning, with stock computer and injectors? I looked at one of them for a mustang in a parts store, and I couldn't figure out how it would connect to the stock hanger. I should have brought my old leaking pump with me, to actually have both of them there and compare, but stupid me didn't. Maybe I'm just over complicating things. How can an airtex pump be so cheap and work, and the BOSCH one look identical to the factory one and be so expensive, lol.How long has it been in the car? Is airtex good quality? It came with a strainer and such? Quote Selected
Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #7 – January 11, 2011, 11:32:17 PM My particular pump was never in a Mustang , I bought some stuff from a guy on craigslist. an H-pipe, an HO upper intake ,the fuel pump and a few other items ,,,the pump was brand new in the box with the receipt , I did have to buy a Bird specific strainer, I dropped the tank pulled the pump/hanger assembly and swapped the pump . I sold Airtex pumps for yaers when I was in the Parts business and they had comparable quality to any other brand pump in my experience . As far as how long its been in my car I want to say I put it in in April , but my car has only gone about 400 miles since then . Quote Selected
Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #8 – January 12, 2011, 12:03:16 AM Now we're getting somewhere. Now the ebay auctions lists the "right vehicle", but a different pump. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EP361-FUEL-PUMP-FORD-MUSTANG-85-95-V8-5-0-85-97-V6-3-8-/120662688797?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c180e841dthen there is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Airtex-E2061-Electric-Fuel-Pump-FORD-MUSTANG-97-85-/200517777308?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eafca779cwhich is the right part number, not a lifetime warranty:(. Which one? I'll buy stuff on ebay from powersellers and stuff if there is a lifetime warranty, other than that, it scares me a little. If the $28 works, i'll gladly go that route, if not, it'd probably get it from a parts store, for the same price, roughly.Airtech directly list the Thunderbird and Mustangs Differently. Tbird is E2024 mustang E2061... what could the difference be? Quote Selected
Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #9 – January 12, 2011, 01:25:12 AM I replaced my stock fuel pump with a BBK 155lph fuel pump about 6 months prior to doing HO conversion. It ran fine with my SO engine. It was a lot smaller than the original pump but it still sat down fine in the original hanger and has worked just fine. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BBK-1527/ Quote Selected
Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #10 – January 12, 2011, 01:30:22 AM i use the super charge 3.8L pump offered by adance , its 90L/hr vs the 60L/hr stock bosch.the one i can get is "just the pump", no hanger, no shock absorber bushing, just the pump and a couple clips and a new little hose and anew oring for the top.The last one i bought was 40 some odd dollars at adance.oh yeah, it does not include the sock either, i had to rig up my sock to fit the sc pump.either way it fit in my hanger assembly and i had enough parts to get the car working correctly again.

Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #12 – January 12, 2011, 08:47:35 AM cassity, is it a 90lhp or a 190lph? Can a v8 possibly use that much more fuel?I feel like I might be beating a dead horse here, but if I can spend 30-40 instead of 85+, or even a 200-300, it'd like to. Quote Selected
Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #13 – January 12, 2011, 09:06:47 AM Its a return style system, what isnt used by the engine is sent back to the tank. I dont want to run short on fuel when I do my modded 5.0 HO. Quote Selected

I dont want to run short on fuel when I do my modded 5.0 HO. Which one? I'm confused. You mean what isn't used when you shut the car off? If it's the Walboro one, what does "with kit" mean. Does it come with the strainer/filter, etc.? Quote Selected
