Default Walbro 255
Yesterday Morning my fuel pump began whining, and I think its time to replace it. I have a 1998 Trans Am but I am unsure of which/where to order the walbro replacement from. I did look but couldnt find a part number, are they universal? I wouldnt mind going with the racetronix one but I dont have $200 to spend on the pump.

So if anyone could point me in the right direction on ordering the Walbro that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Is it universal or is there a certain walbro part number I should be ordering?

Thanks.

My engine builder ordered and installed it, so not sure of part number. I know now I have to put key in on position hearing the pump prime for a few seconds before it will start.

The FPA-001 is $149.99 not $200.00
If you do not require the HP support of this pump we offer a lower performance FPA-016 for $107.10. Both these pumps will maintain the proper function of your fuel module's jet pump. A generic Walbro will not.

Awesome Thanks for letting me know, I definitly would rather spend the money on a racetronix then. My car is just stock with a lid, I plan on putting headers and thats it so I think the fpa-016 would be good enough, right?

OP says he has a 1998. The FPA-001 shows to be for 99-on.

AH! Ty for noticing that. It was the original reason I thought the Racetronix were $200 for my car (1998 Trans am).
