Is it bad to have too big of a fuel pump?
Too big of a cam for your combination will cause a loss of low end torque and make drivability suffer. Such is the case with fuel pumps, to some degree. This causes fuel pressure to build up to the level that the regulator was designed to maintain.
Can a 1989 Dodge Gasser get a new fuel pump?
My fuel pump unit had one of the plastic ports broken off where they exit the tank. Neither the aftermarket or the factory provides a new replacement fuel pump assembly or fuel tank for the 1989-1990 Dodge gassers. I did not like the idea of putting a junkyard unit in.
How to retrofit newer fuel pump assembly to 1989-1990?
So, I retrofitted a newer fuel pump (from the 1991-1993 Dodge rams with the gas engines) to my old tank which required cutting the opening larger and RTVing in the pump (not ideal though it shes holding fast). To avoid bodging the pump unit in like I did, get a 1991-1993 tank from a newer ram.
Can a 1991 Ram fuel pump be retrofitted?
To avoid bodging the pump unit in like I did, get a 1991-1993 tank from a newer ram. The filler neck and straps are the same from 1989-1993, so it should bolt in. I tried to locate one but could not find one in Montana in time.
What kind of fuel pump does a Dodge Ram have?
The center is not connected to anything on mine. The pump I used fits 1991-1993 Dodge Ram Trucks with the 318 or 360. I crawled under my truck and verified the wiring; it only has 4 wires running into the plug. The pump has 5 prongs, but the center is not connected to anything.
