Default Can Fbody specific racetronix pump be used in a C5?

I have a brand new racetronix 255 pump with the hotwire kit sitting in the box right now. Is there any way I can convert it to work in my vette or would I be better off selling it and buying the c5 specific kit? I would really like to use it if possible since I already have it.

No, buy the correct pump. The C5 is a specific setup.

Well can anyone explain the differences in the pump itself?

The 97-02 C5 uses a Walbro GRJ-series jet pump. The jet is integrated into the bottom of the fuel pump itself. This jet pump keeps the fuel module full of fuel so that the pump does not run dry under acceleration/cornering since the C5 (as well as most new cars) do not have baffling in the tank.



The 99-02 F99 pump uses an external jet pump which is part of the module. This is explained with picture links in our web ad here:
