Re: External Fuel Pump Recomendations It would be fine. It is actually the same pump that Holley sells with their name on it (part # 12-920). LPH is liters per hour. There are 3.7 liters/gallon. So, 255/3.7 is 68 gph(gallons per hour)at 60 PSI. My post above listed it as 225 lph. That was a typo.

I am putting an Ls1 into a 65 impala convertible. What fuel pump should I use?? I know I need the aeromotive fuel regulator 13109 because that has a return line in it. What pump should I use with this? The aeromotive pumps say 45 psi, but i know the factory ls1 pump is like around 60. Thanks so much!

Will the walbro 255 handle a 150 wet shot? Is it better to just leave the stock fuel rails and add a regulator w/ return line so the fuel pressure will be adjustable?
I have to do this soon, so I'm trying to figure out a good but inexpensive setup. To all w/ chevelles are you sumping your stock tank, tanksinc setup, or other? Does the tank need to be baffeled?
Thanks

Yes, on the tank needing to be baffeled.!
I am using a 95' Impala Gas tank that is already baffeled in my 71' Chevelle. I am also using a Racetronix / Walbor 255 pump and wiring setup.

bczee - I've read up on your posts on the impala tank I might do this if I can find a tank. I guess I'll check the local salvage yards. Any were to get a new tank like this for cheap, what do they normally cost? Would it be a PITA to baffel my current tank? Trying to keep cost down.
In another post that I had input on, 130FE stated he had one for sale.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/485183-chevelle-fuel-tank.html
I paid $50 for my tank. I would said any where from $50 to $125 from the junk yards for a tank. If your trying to do the cheap route, and your not looking for a lot of power upgrades from the LSx.. That pump will work with a Stock LS1 ok.
You can try GMPARTSDIRECT.COM for new parts.. they are cheap for parts.. but costly for there handling and shipping.
You might try one of the Impala / B-Boday forum for sale parts.
Good luck.
