Access door to change fuel pump - 4th Gen
How many of you have done this, i really am leary about doing it this way, but under the circumstances, i'm at my wits end, story is, i just installed a new pump (walbro knock-off) when i installed my 9", now it looks like this pump isn't working right, so after all this, i'm just not in the mood to be dropping the rearend & pulling the tank again, so do you think its safe enough? also looking for the measurements on where to cut the door & tools needed.
I've thought about just addeing a inline pump, but not sure if it'll work right, this would save me alot of hassle, bad idea?

I put the door in mine and I absolutely love it. As a matter of fact I just put in a new walbro 2 weeks ago and I'm not getting pressure from it now. Easy to check. BTW I have been an aircraft mechanic for over 17 years and I believe in doing things the right way once. However if there is an easier way that is still safe, why not. No one will see it or know it is there but you. My two cents.

I'm going to do the door, after hearing of all these walbro pumps going bad, i'm just going with the holley.

Ya know, i'm really thinking about doing this, hell, this factory pump is still working after 158K, so is the Opti, go figure, how much or the AC Delco pumps?

Once you make the access door and you need to go back in there again at some point, you'll say to yourself "Man.... I'm glad i did that access door mod! ". I too am a member of the access door club.
