Yup, Fuel Pump...   is it bad.... tough question....  both my V8's where noisy,
put over 100k on both cars this way, no problems...

but they where noisy when i bought the cars used...


I believe the school of thought is, if it's quiet and suddenly gets noisy,
it's doomed.. :)  otherwise, don't worry about... unless your bored and feel
like sticking your hands into the top of the tank to pull it out and clean the
screen...

but then again,  if the screen is dirty/clogged, probably got goop in the tank
and you'll want to drop it and clean it out....


See what happens when ya get bored ?  it ends up being a weekend project :)

Mike,


Thanks.
