    Wagon fuel pump swap

    Anyone put a new fuel pump in a wagon? How much trouble was it?

    Well I've done it again. I found another wagon for $200 and I am having trouble resisting. It is an identicle twin to my grey wagon but in even better shape in some respects. Same color, no wood, same year, same interior, same options, almost the same miles on it as mine had when I bought it. (plus no big dent in the back of it from where my wife backed it into a big rock) I am about 90% convinced I should get it, so I can mix and match the best parts between the two cars to get one uber nice grey box wagon for my long delayed 351w swap.


    At any rate, this all got me thinking, about the fuel pump issue. I have put in more than my fair share of in tank fuel pumps, but I have only dropped the tank on a box wagon once. It was a parts car, and I recall that it was a bit of a pain. Any tips or tricks I should know about?

        Never done a tank on a wagon, but if it works like the sedans, the fatter pipes make it tight dropping the tank down. I know on a sedan, the tank has a habit of getting a bit wedged between the vertical area behind the seat where the tank mounts and the pipes where they come over the axle. Its not that horrible but it can make it a bit of a pain in the ass. Stock pipes dont have that problem.

          The pipes are under the tank, which made it near impossible to drop the tank. I had to take the exhaust off to get the tank out.

            heck 200 bux, just cut off the exhaust, and drop the tank all easy style, and have a fun beater!
