[DMCForum] Re: OT: Need help with 84 VW Rabbit

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Erik,

I certainly appreciate it when guys like you post things like this. 
How much did you pay for it???

However, I'd like to say that one digit removed could mean a world of 
difference in performance. It could me a lower output motor..who 
knows? 

I would advocate measuring main line fuel pressure in a DeLorean with 
this pump. If it's the same, then I'd call it a good X-reference. If 
it's less or more pressure....

Andrei found a good pump to mount outside of the tank that I'm 
interested and I asked the same questions. Let us know what you find 
out regarding the accumulator.
