Arrow Walbro Fuel pumps?

Quick question. What kind of modding will i need to do (if any) to my fuel pump holder in order to put this pump in? When i took the old one out, i didn't see any way to take it off the original bracket.

But keep in mind that fuel pressure will go up a bit. If you have an NA, you'll run rich. If you have a TII, you'll run rich under boost.

I do have an NA so I guess a little tuning would be in order eh? Or just get an FPR?

And can anyone tell me how the eff I take the original pump out of the original bracket??

Its just held by the fuel hose and the rubber grommet on the bottom. It does take some twisting or just cut the line since the new one comes with one.

Then don't upgrade the pump. Keep the one you have. Or if it's dead, buy an OEM replacement.
