fantastic..thank you very much...seems so simple when its put into a couple paragraphs..is the pump on top of the tank or on the side?

The pump hanger sits on top. Just remember the orientation of the pump when you take it off the hangar, and mount the walbro the same exact way the stock pump came out.I would recommend you use worm clamps or something metal as opposed to zip ties when you secure the pump to the hangar because the plastic on the zip ties become brittle over time in the tank.

And if you want extra security/power to the pump you could always rewire it. http://www.vfaq.com/mods/pump-rewire-1GFWD.html

edit: just in case.

red on walbro connector goes to black w/white stripe oem pump wires

black on walbro connector goes to black on the oem pump wires

In reality, the fuel lines will be difficult if not impossible to undo because of rust and you'll end up doing it under the car. Try to reuse as much of the factory rubber isolators as possible to keep the noise down and mount it as low as it will go in the cage. Rewire it too, if you don't rewire, you might as well of gotten a 190 instead.
