JayJay's going under the wrench tomorrow morning for a new fuel pump.
Inform me!
Disconnect lines, drop tank, remove snap ring, pull old unit out, fix pump, reverse order, new fuel filter, profit.
Your car may do 13 sec @ 103 mph, but my car does 146db @ 35 hz.
Did this.
Took a bit of priming but the car started and ran great. Now, when i turn the key to ON not START, it sounds terrible. Its not the smooth prep it used to be. Its choppy and sounds airy. What could this be?
The car still starts, but take quit a bit of turning over. Sometimes it doesnt..
Bleh..
Did you do fuel filter at the same time?

Do you have gas? And are the lines tight?
When we did mine my dad didnt get the quick disconnects all the way together.
Ill take a look at the lines, but i double checked before i finished the job. I do have gas, 3/4 tank, and i did do the fuel filter at the same time.
Its dead in my garage again.
And to think i let the org steer me into EBay pumps!
Humph!
i have installed 2 pumps and both had no problems.

Wish i could say the same.
None the less, I'm trying again. Another EBay pump.
Wish me luck?
Oh ebay, how i hate thee.
I would get a fuel pressure tester - and see what the pump is actually putting out and also this will also allow you to "better" bleed the fuel lines (turn key on, let pump run, turn key off, release pressure(tester has a button on the side) repeat)
I would avoid eBay for things that are as important as a fuel pump, as for 1. you don't REALLY know what you're getting, 2. if there is a problem you can just take it back to a store 3. Most storefronts have crazy warranties on pumps, I have a lifetime on mine from Car Quest.
Otherwise, Good Luck!
Ebay pump runnin' fine in my purple machine
