Fuel Pump and Regulator
I've been reading through the guides and recommendations regarding fueling. For the sake of money and time I'm gonna stick with my factory fuel tank but need a Walbro 255 and I'd like to run that corvette regulator. Does this mean I need to run new fuel lines and change the configuration a bit? Mainly I was wondering if anyone has the part numbers laying around for the Walbro 255 that I can use with my factory fuel tank, and the part number for the vette regulator that everyone likes to use thank you!
edit: is the pump part # GCA758-2?

Re: Fuel Pump and Regulator
the one i used was Wix 33737
you dont have to touch any of the sending unit, but everything after than can vary.
i opted for braided stainless from front to back since my car was carbed from factory & was not equipped with threaded ends. FI cars can skip this and just make adapter lines from the sending to the filter, filter to feed line, and feed line to fuel rail. may save a couple dollars, but most likely not when you factor in additional fittings/adapters. plus old lines may be worth replacing due to age & rust

33737 is the PN you're after. 99-04 Corvette filter
PNs and a basic diagram for a LSx swap is posted in the LS1 swap sticky, additional info thread. A budget fuel system can be made using 3rd gen EFI lines and some repair fittings from the HELP section of a parts store using the proper line tool
