Can somebody post the most common fuel pump part numbers that will be direct replacements? thanks Joel

I put in two from Rockauto last year and have been very happy with them. Rockauto part # for ZR-1 is #P240KC. (Performance Electric)
The kit comes with a strainer and various parts. I did not have to use
the pigtail adapter. They plugged right in.
Cost was $23 ea plus shipping. (I'd replace both while in there)

That certainly might be the least expensive!

Generally the Airtex is mentioned and Airtex has a catalog specific application for the LT5 but it's certainly not a "performance/high volume" unit. It also isn't considered a direct replacement for the 2500/454 (25163473). An Airtex E3270 is considered a direct replacement for the 2500/454 and also has applications for vehicles that it would seem require substantially higher fuel volumes!

There's also a Bosch that VetteMed did an install procedure "tutorial" that required minimal modifications!

I'd think if doing Airtex the E3270 would be the choice!

I wouldn't touch an Airtex ever again. My first "How to" on a fuel pump replacement ended in the Airtex failing. Maybe I just got a bad one but not willing to take a chance again. The flow rate on the P240KC is just fine for a stock engine.

RE Airtex...

I replaced my stock secondary pump with an Airtex, and it had a bad check valve, right out of the box -had to exchange it.

Then, about a year later, Marc was about to take my car to the dyno and discovered the fuse to the secondary pump had blown. That was curious, as I had just run the car with a pressure gauge taped to the windshield to test it at WOT a week prior, and it was good then. (That was one problem, and thats when I learned the "new" injectors installed at the time I bought the car from a dealer were NOS circa 1990...and guess what else had failed?? But, I digress!)

Anywayz, it only takes a minute now and then to hot wire the test connector to the pumps through my Fluke to see if they're both running. So far, so good, but no more Airtex for me either!!

Thanks Everyone for the replys.

I was wondering if anyone had tried any of the AC Delco replacements you see in the E B auction in the $50.00 price range?
