I am using the fuel pump from a Ford Range pickup 1985-1986. it does have a
problem that the fuel pressure drops off completely when you shut the car
off. If you don't turn the key off and on a couple times before you try to
start, or it has to crank quite a while before it starts. This could be
fixed with an inline check valve.
My pump was given to me, but you should be able to get one at a slavage yard
for about $20.
