Hello, I am a new member with a 1978 Olds Starfire 231 V6
I have gone thru 3 in tank pumps that went out, all Airtex.
After that I went to a external carter pump re did the lines etc. this one lasted about 8 months, the longest so far. by far.
I looked at the left side of the motor and there is fuel pump block out plate.
I researched and the 231 seems to be the same engine with a in tank pump or mechanical pump.
I have a old buick mechanical fuel pump and compared it to where the block out plate is.
It seems to have plenty of room to fit there, i actually easily got it to the block. but may be tight but not impossible to add the lines.
So my question is , has anyone here ever put a mechanical pump in a 231 V6 that originally had the in tank electrical pump?
It looks very possible
