I used Rockauto for my 93. You can get a acdelco for under 50$ or bosch for a little more. Dont forget to change sock. Not a bad job. Dave

Is your engine stock or modified?
Here's what I bought and installed in my '85 C4 LS1 (roughly 325hp)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300937556449...U:3160&vxp=mtr
255lph, quiet, complete (kit), delivered to your door for just $50USD.
Only thing, you'll have to modify a couple wires because the plug wouldn't fit into the original.


(In case you don't know: First make sure that it's okay for your C4 to be pumping out 255lph out of the tank to your engine. There's a rule-of-thumb formula out there [which I can't remember.. something about 30% max] about calculating fuel volume to horsepower... gotta make sure it's not pumping too much fuel otherwise the fuel heats up and your engine detonates...)

My 90 coupe also needs a fuel pump. I'm buying a Delphi from Rockauto. $52.79. PN# FE0110. Strainers from $3.50 to $5.20. You can get a 5% discount by using the code on their website. The fuel tank gasket seal is a Bosch PN# 68238 for $11.57.

when you take it out, and see how nasty the sending unit is too, you'll want the whole thing...corvette central has a nice stainless complete..pump is not as good as those walbro 255's...

Looks like I am going with Delphi. My vehicle sometimes hesitates when accelerating from a stop and after I take it for a drive and it heats up it stalls. I can start it right back up but it keeps stalling until I let it cool down. I assumed it was a fuel pump issue. What do you guys think? Its a stock motor

Also will the 1985 Corvette Delphi fuel pump fit the 84?

My belief is that it's not the pump. You can go to any parts store and get it. Nothing special about it
