Gonna install new fuel pump in my 87.Noticed Delco pump purchased has a new pigtail with it.Anyone know if any soldering is involved or just spliceing?Many thanks.

unless you have a worn connector, don't mess with replacing the pigtail.

otherwise, a FP is about a 30 minute swap, all done from the top.

My new pump came from Napa, different connectors. orange wire fit right up, the black (ground did not. so I used the new black, cut old one off 1/4 from where it was welded to rail and soldered. still only took 30 minutes.
My new pump did not come with a sock, I had to purchase it from Auto zone.

Here is a walk-through of what you can expect, with photos.

Don't forget to change your strainer (sock).

I joined the fuel pump outlet to the metal pipe. I didn't use the "dampner" or whatever that thing is.

One of the easiest things I have done on any corvette. I got a AC Delco replacement, Followed the directions, took my time....kept the smokers away as I worked....took about an hour! You might also want to replace fuel filter as mine was almost completely blocked.
