Re: 1987 Fuel Sender Conversion for LSx Swap

Next is the install of the pump on to the bottom of the sender. My pump kit had all the parts needed to attach the pump as did the sender kit I purchased. I used the hose and clamps from the sender kit. The clamps in that kit are the "fuel injection" style clamps as opposed to regular worm gear clamps that came with the pump. Slide the black rubber sleeve over the pump and place the black rubber cushsion on the base of the sender. Slide the hose and clamps on to the pump, then install the hose to the tube of the sender and seat the pick up end of the pump in the cushsion at the base of the sender. Tighten the clamps. Press the strainer onto the pump thru the hole in the base of the sending unit. Connect the wire pig tails for the pump motor.

Here is the pump installed on the sending unit:



Completed pump and sending unit:



From here, just intall the pump into the tank with the new o-ring and lock ring that came with the sender (or the tank). Both had them...

Connect your hoses to the supply and return fittings and the vent hose. Install the tank in the factory location.
