Our Supercharged Monte Carlo Has Fuel Pressure Problems... We Upgrade the Pump AND Wires!
What happens here
A fitment issue is discovered: the bung port (fuel outlet) on the new pump is too long, causing the pump to hit the bottom of the shallow fuel tank, preventing proper seating. The host devises a solution to trim the plastic lip off the bung port and then carefully melts the end of the trimmed port to create a barb, ensuring a secure connection for the fuel hose. Additionally, the host decides to use worm-drive hose clamps instead of the supplied clamps, as the original ones tend to slip.
Goal: Trim the new fuel pump's bung port and secure the hose with worm-drive clamps.
