Pumps to "Y" 5/16. "Y" to outlet 3/8.

Kenny, did NAPA have the hoses in a bag? I check here in Kentucky and they said that it's in a roll of 25 ft and costs $37.49.

Roy,
First, I would be concerned that they are quoting you the incorrect hose. Remember it needs to be submersible fuel hose. I am pretty sure I paid nearly that much for just the 2 1ft pieces. It is not cheap.
But to answer your question, yes, I ordered it from NAPA and it came in the bags pictured. Maybe give them the part #'s and description to make sure you get the correct hose.

Kenny, is there a part number for the fuel filter pump sock? I'm having a hell of a time putting the current ones back on and I thought that I would change them out as well.

Roy, If I recall correctly I ordered the socks at the same time I ordered the pumps. Got them from Rock Auto. (I am not 100% positive on this)
I'm not close to my records right now to see if I have a part #.
There is probably something on that in the "sticky" postings. If you don't locate it I will try to remember and see if I have them.

The pumps on Ebay are not a bad deal. Plus they are from a member which I think is a plus.
When you have the sending unit out, be sure and get one of the billet "Y"s that Carter makes. I have had the original plastic one develop a crack. Use stainless worm clamps and submersible fuel line also.

I looked and they were already sold. The fuel pressure is supposed to around 43 to 45 psi.

I take it that Carter is online. Never heard of them.

I just checked with Summit and the Walbro pump that Marc suggests is out of stock at this time. It also states that the fuel pressure is only 43 psi, not the 85 psi Marc's article states. Is 43 psi sufficient?
