Damn, springs that arched can't ride well... why didn't you go shackle flip instead?

I've had EFI since 1989 and had in tank pumps the whole time. # of them to be exact.
First one I learned I needed a tank with baffles. It lasted maybe a year are 2. Sucking air is the worst thing you can have one do. All the sloshing around and needle going all over the place drove me crazy.

Second one last for several years. The last one which I had to replace when I did the LS swap had been in for over 10 years.
INtank is by far the best way to go.
