It uses a hose-bead inlet, threaded outlet connection, and two mounting holes for a direct replacement layout on Chevrolet Corvette applications from 1970 through 1981. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps 41240 and Carter M6955 for the same application. The PN8021 is a practical choice when restoring fuel pressure and flow on a classic Corvette with a standard replacement pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems It Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard starting caused by weak fuel delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel starvation under normal driving conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow fuel pressure in a mechanical pump system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough idle related to inconsistent gasoline supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement needs on higher-mileage Chevrolet Corvette fuel systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm inlet and outlet orientation before installation, and verify the 0.375-inch inlet size matches the fuel line connection. Use the included gasket during assembly and follow the instruction sheet for proper mounting on the engine. Because this is a mechanical fuel pump, installation should be matched to the vehicle’s original fuel system layout and pressure requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSparta is distributed by Delphi, an OE full-line fuel supplier with experience in fuel system fit and performance.
