August 20, 20231 yr Author comment_656163 @SteveJThanks for the link to the curved fuel hose. I wish I found it before I made a U-shaped 3/8" line out of the brake line. @Zed Head My bad, I have had 2 Ultra-Power fuel pumps. They look identical to the previous owner's Airtex, even share the same 8312 part number. Delphi shows the maximum pressure of 107 psi, I can't find the minimum one. The OEM part it referenced is E8312 (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Delphi-FD0035-Electric-Motor-Solenoid/dp/B000CGFV2Y) The Delphi's warranty PDF mentions that "This Limited Lifetime warranty lasts as long you own the vehicle in which the Delphi Electric Fuel Pump or Fuel Pump Assembly is installed. This warranty is not transferrable and applies only to the original purchaserof the product." I guess I can give it a shot, although swapping fuel pumps even when they are offered for free, is still a messy time consuming job. Thanks for the pump refernce.

August 20, 20231 yr comment_656166 This just came to mind when you were talking about a “side winder hose”. Here’s a couple of pics of a line that came with my fuel line kit from SS Tube. Hooks to the factory pump configuration but might work on other applications. You can order it separately and possibly continue on with straight hose. Just a thought. Good luck with your project.

I have put about 40 miles on the car since the installation. That's the problem with RockAuto - if you have repeat failures of a component, they count it against your account standing, which affects how they treat you overall. I had this issue whenI had 2 pairs of one brand of shock fail within a year of each other.

September 2, 20231 yr Author comment_656608 I ended up installing my new spare MSD-2225 fuel pump. If (or better, when) this one fails, I will go Dephi route with its lifetime warranty. Thanks to all for your insight. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68261-280z-1976-fuel-pump-saga/?&page=2#findComment-656608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
