89 tbi fuel pump

[salrod00]

I have a 89 suburban tbi motor and tranny put in my 85 c-10. Can I use my stock saddle tank off the truck and shorten the electric fuel pump out of the suburban to make it fit in the tank. what problems would I have or is it even possible. Whats the best route or advice for me to make this motor run.. thanks ahead of time ..

Ditch the saddle tank. Install the rear Suburban tank.

how about a frame mounted electric pump, simple and quick install

what brand and how would a side frame electric pump be installed. i never installed one before.. i got the suburban tank but i made a hole in it. so that eliminates that. any pics or info would be great..

if you are going to use a remote mounted electric fuel pump, your going to need to find out the opperating pressure of the stock suburban tbi pump and match the new pump to that. you will also need a fuel return line and possibly a bypass type fuel regulator.

Buy a sending unit for a 87-95 pickup and use the parts off the Burb and drop it in your current tank.

my current tank is the one off the c10 truck. i beleived that are called saddle tanks. the suburban tank has a mase or tunnels inside it while the one off the truck is just four walls.

Holley makes pumps for TBI fuel pressure. TBIs require 15 PSI.

In tank fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel. Frame rail pumps are not cooled and are at the mercy of heat.

i went ahead and bought a stock gas tank of another 89 suburban. i drop the electric pump (stock sending unit) in the tank and now the truck wont stay on. it turns and tries to crank but it wont stay on. i ran the sending unit direct to a switch. yall think that i got a wire issue...
