I am not talking about a 100 point car with a replica DELCO or motorcraft. Also the underhood heat is a KILLER TO A BATTERY. Why do you think all new cars have them covered or blanketed???????????????

I hear you talking, but no battery in my trunk. I agree, an engine bay looks good without it, but, that's where mine is staying.

Got it not going to argue that. But the battery will love you LONG TIME!!! If it does not get HAMMERED WITH under hood heat. Batterys hate HEAT. Just saying CARRY ON !!!!!

My last battery lasted almost 6 years, so I was happy with that. Especially considering the Oklahoma heat. Friday I'll be addressing the car a bit more. Gotta work at the Hospital, and that takes up a total of 13 hours a day, so, the Sport has to wait. Hoping to swap the FPR and is necessary, fuel pump. The new 255 is in route. I may not need it, but if so, I'll have it.

Ive had great luck with my Walbro pumps.  Cost a little more, but I feel they are worth it.  Just my .02 :shakeass:

I've had a 155 lph Walbro in my Thunderbird for 6 years. I've never had an issue with it. Yes it did cost more than a cheap parts store pump but it was worth it.

Vinnie,

I know you have the trap door in the floor of your trunk so check the voltage at the pump and if that looks good then pull it and inspect the filter.  Do you think you might have been a victim of bad gas?  Anyhow, lots of good advice here.  My Coupe has a 255 lph Walbro pump, stock lines, stock injector rails, 42 lb/hr injectors, Aeromotive FPR, and a thirsty 331 under the hood and have no issues.

I do remember a car having some fuel issues one time and it turned out to be the fuel pump relay being all corroded up inside so that is a thought but a quick voltage test of the battery side of the relay compared to the fuel pump side of the relay will tell you that story.

Anyhow, good luck!
