Thanks. Just be prepared, I'm beginning to see the cost of everything even with no mods. I think Lo budget actually refers to my wallet here. I've been laid off for a year now but working part time to make ends meet. I have two job prospects but they both are out of town. So far I have managed to keep afloat.

That foam looks like it could burn or melt easily. You might want to cut a stip off and try to burn it, just to see how it reacts. Don't breath in any smoke, it could be toxic if it burns.

O.K. So no one caught this. That pump is great for a N/A 3800. I was at Napa today and we looked up this pump and it didn't seem right. I have read lots of bickering on the forum as to what pump to use and I am more confused now than when I started. So this is where i'm at.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The fuel pump should run for two seconds. The pressure on the gauge should read 48–55 psi (333–376 kPa).
Start the engine and allow to idle. The fuel pressure should drop about 3–10 psi (21–69 kPa). The idle pressure may vary somewhat, depending on barometric pressure. Look for a big drop in fuel pressure, rather than a specific number.
As copied from a Chilton manual.
The Bosch is only rated at 34 PSI
The ACDelco EP376 is rated up to 80 PSI.
The Walbro 225 is for big horse power.
So the EP376 is what i need.
I think.

Well I bought the Airtex equivilant. Got a good price on it. I didn't know what strainer to get so I got the 86 gt one. P/N FS1. I hope its the right one.

I'm not sure what the difference is with strainers? GM strainers are all so very similar to one another, I just don't know why they even have different ones? They all seem to have the same size "cup" that pushes onto the bottom of the pump. Just make sure it's fully seated (they push on hard sometimes) and that the strainer does not interfere with the float arm.

It worked fine. I still have to put a pigtail for a connector on it. Rock-Auto has one.

Just thought I would update here. I got hammered by life the last two weeks. My Dad had a stroke so i have been helping him a lot. fortunately it was mild and he just needs to get his plumbing cleaned out. Work slowed to a halt and the heat has just been unreal. I am ready for a test fit on the engine so i can finish the harness and do the cooling/heater lines. I think once I see the engine in the car I will get fired up again. Its also supposed to cool off.
