If that be the case, then it should be a 3936316.

You will need a bypass regulator ahead of the injection-pump to run it behind a VE.


I ?think? it was BC847 that did some pictures of the internal differences of the two pumps; they are around here somewhere.

Doesnt the spring make the difference? I remember seeing pictures of 2 different springs the other day. I need to know what spring to get so i dont have to buy a low pressure pump if possible.

if you call vulcan performance they have them i called today it was 35$ + shipping. What do i do about a return line? Will the stock one work?


So im going to run 1/2'' from in the tank to the piston pump, than from the piston pump to my stock filter housing, than from the stock filter housing to the bypass regulator and than to the pump. Does this sound right?
