Walbro fuel pump tip... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought I would share my recent experience with mounting a Walbro 255 inline in my 72 K10 6.0 swap...stock in cab tank....I used Moroso rubber mounts to isolate the pump from the frame and it's very quiet. I used the exact same pump on my '62 5.3 swap without the mounts and it was loud... definitely worth the money.

Could you post up the part numbers?

Mine came with a rubber/foam condom thingy that always kept it fairly quite. I imagine just pump housing straight to metal bracket would be noisy since nothing is eating any of that vibration.

you have any pictures of your setup?

Here's a couple of pictures.
Starts with stock hard piping>then valve>then ford ranger filter (had it laying around)>then pump>then 100 micron filter.
I highly recommend the shutoff valve to service the filters...when I LS swapped my '62, I had lots of dirt get in the filter even though the tank looked clean. I guess the constant return line stirs it up.

Burb99..does your setup use the return rail from engine for your bypass?

Jstock85 · 05-10-2017, 09:15 AM

Thanks for the pics. good idea on the valve. You recommend a specific part or is that brass fitting anyone can get from Ace HD or lowes?
