I'm changing my fuel pump strainer and I got one from autozone however the one they gave me was considerably smaller, is this ok??? Here is a pic of the two together.

As long as the allowed flow is the same, why not?

hehe, yeah! I'm really determined when it comes to my car, sorry This has been a 3year long project and its so close to being finnished yet so far away. My next thread is going to be about why when I put in a brand new light switch my tail lights still don't work.

oh yeah just thought of something. I have one of those rx7.com fuel pumps that flow alot more fuel however the one I just bought is for a stock fuel pump would this matter? And where would I get another strainer if not??? Thanks.

Thats the kind that was on my 88. I don't see any problems with it. If your car starts messing up then I would see if you could get an OE part.

That is what it is supposed to be. The boxy one is just junk, it was too tall, and in a hard corner, the fuel pressure would drop dramatically and the engine would bog and almost die (at least in mine). Replacing this fixed the problem I had, and it has been running nicely ever since.
