What have you done to supply the VP???? Where did you get the rebuilt VP?

Do you ever add a lubricity addative to your fuel?

VP was replaced before I bought it, it came from a reputable injection specialist shop. The shop that replaced it said they checked the lift pump when the VP was replaced and a 2nd time when I brought it back, due to lack of power. I usually add Howes or Lucas fuel additives. I bought it back in September and its spent most of the time in my garage or at the shop with the hood up.

That is a drag.

Before you black out you will want to address the fuel supply side of the vp. 3/8" or 1/2" supply from a reputable aftermarket pump mounted near the tank. A Fuel pressure gauge so you can see your fp at all times and for a little extra insurance run a big line kit from the filter to the vp supply.

Keep fuel pressure above 10 psi at all times for good performance and hopefully longevity...

Well I got the pump off, so now to the shop to have it tested. It should be a warrantied replacement. I'm gonna replace the lift pump since its easy to get to now. I'd do the big line kit if I new what fittings I need, so if anybody knows, please tell me.
