Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the inlet and outlet orientation before installation and confirm the outlet thread size matches the fuel line connection. Use the included gasket or seal during installation, and inspect the mounting surface for cleanliness and flatness before tightening the pump to the engine.
Because this is a mechanical fuel pump, confirm that the vehicle uses a compatible mechanical fuel system and that the application matches the listed Corvette fitment, including the 3 Line Pump note where specified.
