My 84 3.8L T-Bird has the two pumps. I tried taking a picture by sticking the camara under the car. Not very good results but you can see the pink wire going to it.



What I used to do to post pictures doesn't work anymore?

Interesting indeed.  My 86 has only the in-tank pump.  No second pump here boss.

i think anyone with 83 o 84 cars should be on the look out for a "different way" to approach fuel related troubleshooting.

my 83 ls 3.8 v6 running throttle body injection only had an in tank pump which i pulled when the 5.0 set up for edelbrock carb went on. i pulled the entire fuel system to run new and larger lines from tank to motor for a hi flow edelbrock mechanical fuel pump. mark

I just saw this, what do you need me to do? I do have 2 pump, yes. And I'll be trying to run a carbed 302 on the in-tank pump. Is that what your asking?

basically...... i just want to do things the right way and find the correct fuel pick up and sending unit that does NOT have a pump on it... but if the pump that is IN the tank is low pressure (4-5 psi or so) then i would be safe to run that on a carb.... i dont want to bypass anything id rather do it right u know?

i brought this up in your ever going fila project,, you had questions about how to supply fuel to the carb and i brought this info in,, you replied back and said you had not tested the actual PSI out of the tank yet.,,,, thats all,,, . 

im guilty of pushing the topic,, i just had to know how many folks out there has two pumps and it turns out itshiznit or miss but isolated to the 83 and 84 years only.

some 83 or 84 years has this while others will not is what i can see so far.


Perhaps it depends on where the car was made.

softouch,, where was your car made? its in the vin number
