I found a walbro 255 kit for a mustang gt for cheap and I was wondering if it can be adapted to fit my fc. Seems to me like you can make it fit by simply making a harness to go from pump to car.

Any input would be appretiated.

Thanks

 

Yes, its quite easy. If there is no proper connector, simply get some fuel/oil resitant wire (12awg....or 10 maybe) and crimp/solder ring terminals on the ends, making sure to use quality shrink wrap and pack the connections w/ di-electric grease. Attach them to the stock wire locations after cleaning the contact points.

They list the factor hose diameter as 5/16" but the "5/16" fuel house I got had trouble fitting over the nipple on the pump and the pickup tube, so I used 3/8" , about 3" should be sufficient, and tighten down w/ fuel system clamps.

The only part I'm unsure of is how the pump sits on the bottom of the bracket, mine came with a little black rubber piece that went between the bottom of the assembly and the pump, however the stock pump and my FD pump do not have this.


EDIT: ...you're running an aftermarket turbo right?

 

I pulled my pump today and I do have the black rubber piece under the pump, can I not just reuse that and the strainer on the walbro pump??

 

as far as i know the rubber is a different thickness with the kit.
