It should be the stock style bucket, it's a replacement from when my last pump went out, got it from NAPA. For the price the whole assembly costs I expected it to be made of platinum.

i wish this thing had two socks on it. on on the pump pushed into the bucket and one on the outside of the bucket. nothing like stock. i looked at a delco at the parts store before i did it to make sure it was all the same as the post i had been reading and it was way wrong. but i worked at the parts store a couple yrs ago and the owner opened up for me after hours so i could get the sock i needed. i found one with more offset over what came with the walbro. its all working now but im also having problems withe the tune. me AFR its going up and down all crazy and dont know why...

You can do a inline pump, it will work fine.. This a a half *** write up I did on the big bosch install. Naturally you will not have to cut as much of the bucket up.. Mind you this was done with my own stuff, not a kit that you buy, as I am sure they have diff ays of doing it..

How much noise do you add going from intank to inline? That was one of my concerns with going inline vs. intank. You really had to butcher your bucket for that Bosch huh?
