Wagonist it is ridiculous to me because electric pumps DO NOT PULL, plain and simple reason for them to fail As for the black pump being a carb pump I am aware and that is why it is not on the truck anymore. The fuel system was all revamped and working properly now by replacing all of the rubber lines with proper size and rating for fuel injection and a 70-90 lb XT ea82t pump under the pump within 12" of the fuel tank. Now I have 80lb of pressure under the hood with no strain on the system. Onto to bigger and better things. the radiator is rebuilt and back and the new mickey mouse gasket should be waiting on me when I return from a trip this weekend. More progress more progress PS: got a bitchin original Clarion radio yesterday and a homemade pushbar style bumper yesterday that I will modify to run on the brat, I think... :-)

alright so riding around town I had an oil leak from the oil pump dripping on the exhaust and on the timing belt. So I pulled the radiator, having it cleaned and boiled, pulled the pulleys timing belts and oil pump... the oil pump had tons of play in the shaft, about 1/2 up and down movement in the cam gear... headed to the junkyard and pulled the only ea82 oil pump I could find. Made it home late yesterday ate some dinner and went to rebuilding. All is well now but I think I got the mickey mouse gasket out of alignment so I will order a new one today and change it next week. Truck is back running and hopefully next week I can get it tuned better.

Started looking around and realized they had a shitty Japanese generic pump under the hood trying to PULL fuel and then under the truck they had a generic carb pump at the tank PUSHING.... ridiculous Installed a stock XT turbo pump back at the tank and replaced all of the rubber lines and filter Got the BRAT running much better but with the narrowband O2 I just cant tune it that well. I got it running well enough to drive it about 10 miles without any trouble... More progress when the Wideband arrives!
