Fuel pump advice needed...

[Jennifer Rose]

Hi All

	The tpi pump will fit inplace of tbi pump - Generic replacemnet for napa
or kragen work great. S-10 went to tbu in about 85 or 86. For those of us
with chevy pickups ( 73 up) the 87 tank is setup up for in tank pump with
baffle. Much happier with in tank pump on my pu.
