Walbro fuel pump

November 22, 2009, 09:04:39 AM

Yesterday I dropped the tank in my T-bird and installed a Walbro 190 lph fuel pump. I had still been running a stock style (and weak) pump after doing the HO swap in the spring.

The car had been surging at highway speeds and sometimes when you went WOT it would be sluggish and then come in all at once. Let me just say that with the new pump it is like a new car! I can't believe how fast and responsive it feels for just being basically a stock HO with exhaust upgrades. :burnout: (kicked it sideways with white smoke)

I highly recommend doing the pump when doing the HO swap! That is all...lol.

Yeah, I got a 255'er to put in my tank before very much longer. Probably do it when I pull the rear out in the next few days.

Had some trouble with a walbro in the silver tc. Ran fine but would squeel and lock up intermittently so I installed another stock pump. Will be installing a 255 walbro in thunderstruck shortly

Does it fit in the stock fuel pump housing, etc? Or is there some modification or a kit necessary?

I put a 110lph pump ordered for a 87 mustang in my old thunderbird. It dropped in place. It was slightly smaller, but it came with a rubber piece and hose clamp like fittings to hold it in place.

I got mine as a kit, fit and worked perfectly. It was a kit for 83-88 Tbird.

I've still got my 255 pound/hour Walbro. Just put it in the Mustang tank earlier tonight, actually. Ran out of kerosene for my heater, called it a night.

I need to knuckle down, install some insulation, and build a wood stove from a couple of barrels..or do something like Thunderchicken posted a year or so ago...make a waste oil burner out of a brake drum and rotor to heat my shop. Something that spreads the heat, instead of having a narrow "beam" of heat that you get from a "reddy" heater....
