No it's a fuel pump, but I had the wife crank it while I checked a light and I got nothing But I am think that maybe the needle's in the carb are stuck again allowing the fuel pressure to build up thus not the pump not to kick on or the power to come on anyway. This will be the third in tank fuel pump I have put in this thing. in under 3 years.
I just want something I don't have to tear the tank apart every time some thing like this happens, Roger. Thanks Tech I have always heard to mount them as high and as close to the tank as you can, that's why I was thinking of mounting it to the bottom of the tank access plat that's in the trunk. Like I said Firebird77, this is the 3 one in under 3 yearsso these ain't working for me but remember too that they don't make the fuel pumps for these any more either this are actually the Fuel pumps for a Chevy Corvair, hence this may also be part of the problem but they do work. But the fuel gauge has never worked and use's the same power and ground wires. I tried to find one for it but like the fuel pump they say they do not make that any more either. Maybe I will just take both the pump and the fuel gauge float and send them both to that old Chevy Guy that specializes in ol chevy fuel pumps and see if maybe he can match them up with something else. These people at the auto part houses in Pahrump suck they don't know crap about old car parts. I had a guy at a U haul where I was trying to rent a dual axle trailer to pull with that Buick, tell me you won't get accrossed town before you break the rear end in that car. I started to laugh at him and told him that car has bigger rear end then most of your rental truck on the yard and probably twice the motor. HA! HA! HA! those 455 Buick motors are rated at 510 ft pounds of torque at only 2,800 RPM's. Tell me another one. HA! HA! HA!
