Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet orientation before installation, and confirm the 1/2" - 20 threaded outlet matches the existing fuel line connection. Replace the gasket during service, inspect the mounting surface for flatness, and check fuel lines for cracks, corrosion, or restriction before putting the vehicle back into service. This part is listed for N/A position applications and should be matched to the original mechanical pump setup.
