Default 255 fuel pump swap...

Well I think my fuel pump is taking a dump on me, it was said to be a "high capacity" pum pwhen I bought it about 2 yrs ago but its on its way out I believe....

its whining and below 1/4 tank the truck falls on its face in the upper RPM ranges... I know some guys have swapped in a 255 pump into the stock basket with some modification. Any writeups on this? I have searched this for a bit now and cant seem to find what I need...

No prob.
Is it just me or does the search SUCK?

You can type in the best detailed keyword you can think of and you have to view page 20 before you find what your looking for.

I though that I had posted pics of how I modified my bucket to fit a Walbro 255 but couldn't find the thread. I did find the one where I gained some knowledge when I was hacking it up.
