I think it will work. But you will have to cut the stock bell off of the fuel pump housing. Run a hose over both of them and hose clamp them down, then put a clamp on the pump itself so it doesn't move around(since the bell holds it in place).

I would agree with Van, but only if you can get that whie plastic piece off the pump. If not, I don't think there is enough surface area for a clamp to securly hold a hose

You'll have to cut the bell off completely. Then run a fuel hose from the hard line to the top of the fuel pump and hose clamp both of them down. Then for good measure, hose clamp the fuel pump to the bracket.

K.. Pardon my CRUDE paint work... But tell me if I got it. I illustrated in purple (No, I'm not gey lol) the little plastic piece that I don't know what to do with. I'd guess the one from the stock pump will work (Have to cut it out) if needed. It has some sort of pin valve under it... I don't really know much about pumps so whether or not it is really needed is beyond me.. Thanks for all the help guys!

Nope. It's from someone who I won't yet mention. He didn't have pics, so I said I'd give him half first and half after I got it... Well, I got it. Emailed him, but haven't heard back. I'm going to take it by the shop to see if it works. Is there any way to tell what pump it is? Or how much flow it will produce?
