Because the 98's had steel gas tanks, and all other years have plastic ones (or did i switch that around?)
Most people opt for the Walbro or Holley 255's

the search button is your friend
I chose the Holley, I think they are pretty much the same in terms of performance.

It is a compromise but sometimes you can not have your cake and eat it to.
But then again a chef might have a cake in the oven...

I'm not saying i don't believe you, because you are obviously versed in the matter...but this is the first time i'm hearing about this. What is this fuel module that you speak of?
Thanks,

If I can not find it I will put something together again shortly when I have some spare time. It has been unusually busy here since the new year.

cool, thanks very much. This just comes as a shock to me (and some others i see)
Walbro pump in my 02 with no problems here. I might go with a double pump when the turbo kit is installed. I'll do it myself instead of buying a kit. The other option is a boost a pump.
