Fuel pump swap?
Ok so I did the dreaded a couple years ago and swapped my stock pump with an ebay special. Now it's worked great until today. At the time I was able to use a lift and even then it was a bitch. I've heard and talk to many people who have talked of cutting a access hole in the rear. Has anyone else done this? I don't want to randomly just cut a whole because it looks close and be off 4 inches to the left right etc. Anyone help or have a pic for support? Thanks. Oh 1994 Formula

Did the access door about 2003. Bought a spare pump to have in the car. In 2006 on a trip to Florida(from Ohio),pump went out on I95 in Florida,with the spare pump & tools in the hatch,had a new pump in in less than 15 minutes. Still have another spare always with me. Access doors are great.

I don't HAVE to carry a spare pump,but I do. I 'travel' a lot,171,000 miles on the Z. I keep a 'bag' in the hatch with parts,fuel pump,tensioner & idler pulleys,hose clamps,misc fasteners,fluids,drain pan,tools. Along with changing a fuel pump in Florida in 2006,in 2008 had to change thermostat in 2009 on thanksgiving day in Daytona in the motel parking lot. I had everything I needed except for the thermostat and finding an open auto store on thanksgiving morning took a while.
