98 Racetronix Plug N Play Kit
Hey, 98 owners. I'm sure some of you guys have used this kit and or run into this problem. I have 98 specific plug n play kit that came with no sock. I can't get one and the vendor insists that a factory 98 sock will work but the openings are different. What can I do to resolve this issue? What have you guys used?
thanks
thanks

they come with the walbro 255lph pump? I bought the pump but not the kit or harness and the pump came with a sock pretty similar to the stock. but the pump was too small and short to fit in the plastic trays on the metal bracket assy. I cut the trays out, and wrapped the pump in some rubber, and clamped it directly to the metal bracket with the intake below the bracket. got the sock on fine after that. send me a message if u want pictures of it.

The instructions that come with the F98-FPA detail the installation of the GM sock.

Thanks, I'll get the install instructions. Just out of curiosity though, What mods need to be done to the factory sock so it'll work? It may be helpful if someone else runs across this post.

The only modification is to pull a metal piece out of the plastic collar and it slides right onto the pump.
