Is it difficult to install a 340 Walboro in tank pump? Before I add nitrous, just curious how hard it is to install the in-tank pump.

Re: Is it difficult to install a 340 Walboro in tank pump? If you have a lift its a piece of cake. If not jack it as high as you can get. Also dont forget to disconnect the filler neck BEFORE you start dropping it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Its not hard. If your not handy with wiring get a kit from Racetronix...makes the actual pump install go very smoothly since the entire harness is premade and has the larger gauge wire to the pump to prevent voltage drop. Good stuff. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Is it difficult to install a 340 Walboro in tank pump? the hardest part is finding some rubber to mount the walbro pump in. Even though the walbro has more volume it is smaller in diameter. and you have to cut the factory housing for the larger pick up sock.
Re: Is it difficult to install a 340 Walboro in tank pump? I did mine in 1 hour start to finish <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Just DO NOT use the hose that is sent with the pump. You have to go buy some other fuel hose for it. I have mine in with stock wiring and no problems and didnt modify the housing either, jusdt dropped it in with the sock on, or I might have the sock out the bottom. I dont remember, but no problems here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
