Buy something new from any auto parts store. Preferably one with a lifetime warranty. The Bosch fuel pump for my -SE cost me $120.

What type of trim level do you have again?

i don't need a specific type of pump then?

Because a GSL-SE is FI and takes a different type of fuel pump than the 12A equipped cars.

It helps us when you tell us what kind of 7 you have. Trim level, engine, etc.

AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts sell the fuel pump you need for about $140. I just checked their websites. Don't forget to include the year of your car next time. Tho, for engine parts, and especially on this one, you don't really need it.

But, it helps to strum out the entire car's info JUST in case we might need it. Hope this helps.

You're welcome. And, join the club. I've stuck in about $300 in replacement parts on my car alone this year. I still have yet to get a new TPS and that'll cost me $150.

Unfortunately, I'm not a carb know-it-all like the rest of the members (I'm one of the few who has a 13B apparenly) so I wouldn't know. I'm sure someone who has various aftermarket setups can tell you. I don't think it'll be a big deal, as long as the GPH is about right, along with the PSI.

Those types of links take me back to the home page. It would be easier if you provide a part #, along with the brand and the specs on the pump.

Holley Red is fine, as is a Carter 72 gph or the Mallory comp 70, if you want to go aftermarket. With any of these, you will need an fpr in the 0-5 psi range and an accurate ruel pressure gauge.

Your better off using an aftermarket pump, as from what has been said the stocker isn't very good even on a stock engine, and its a good stepping stone towards later engine modifications.
