Fuel Pump

I noticed my fuel pump had a small sweat the other day. Should I get a stock replacement or is there a better one out there?

I have read that fuel pressure can drop to 0 psi at wot. I don't want this to happen.

I just did a search. The only problem is, it wouldn't search. I'm going to bed before I get the 12 Ga. and fill the computer with double ought buckshot.

In that case, the part # for the low pressure lift pump I got is HFP702 You can order it form oregon fuel injection along with the spacer and two gaskets. It will deliver about 10-12psi low idle. It is good to know of any leaks from the injection pump in case some develop afterward.

or if you wanted to run a fuel pressure regulator you can get one from a 2nd gen hplp and then run a return style reg and regulate it down to 13-15psi.
