Fuel pump replacement..3 wire hanger?

[Nyborg]

Got my new(used) western tank , hanger assembly...there are 2 blue wires and 1 ground on the hanger.1 blue just goes to a resistor? on the backside of the bracket..My car is an 88,,,think hanger is 90 up?Can i use a walbro 255 and just use 2 wires?...should i stick with stock till i get it running?..is the 12v mod neccessary?

Yes you should be able to use the two wires. One will be power and one is ground to the hanger.

Should i bypass the j-pipe altogether?

Either bypass or drill out.

Thanks much....in it goes...replacing all lines as well...

I don't think I quite understand when people say drill out the J-tube.

Couldn't you just not run lines to it?

Or is there a benefit to drilling it out?

If anyone can post pics and an explanation, that would be very nice

 

[hvyman]

Yes you can bypass it altogether or you can drill it out. Either works.

The j-tube has a small hole on 1 end to act as a back up regulator incase the main fpr fails.

Think i'm just going to bipass for now....

 

[Nyborg]

Do I have to strap the pump to the mount?...tie wrap or whatever?....

 

[hvyman]

Yes. Unless you want it to float around as soon as you hit a bump.
