I'm getting a 91 TII next week and I was wondering if the fuel pump out of an 03 Mustang Cobra would work? I believe it flows in the neighborhood of 250 to 275 lph, and is about half the price of a Walbro. I was going to use a Walbro 255, but I've heard that people sometimes have problems with poor idle or running really rich at idle. According to a friend of mine, the Cobra pump has solved that problem with a lot of Mustang owners. Logic tells me that if Mustang people can switch from a Walbro to a Cobra fuel pump, then why can't we use the Cobra FP. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I was wondering if anyone knew if this was possible. Thanks in advance.

hmmm....most of the time i think the walbro come in "kits".......im guessing the mustang / cobra ones would be kitted for those cars....but you could get it to work
how much do the cobra pumps cost ... half a walbro? ... 60 bucks?

I didn't know that the Walbro came as a kit. Every time I've seen it, it just seemed like a universal pump. I've never bought one though, so I don't know. As for the Cobra pump, I'm pretty sure its not a Walbro. Apparently it is a dual pump, so it won't have the idle problems the Walbro does. I know a lot of people use the Walbro, so I guess it can't be too bad. Any feedback on them, because it would probably be easier just to buy a Walbro...

if the stang fixes an idle problem, it's either from voltage or wiring control of the pump (similar to turbo II ecu controling voltage at idle) or a bigger FPR. neither would help you if you stuck it in yours. the pump alone wouldn't do anything itself
