any chance you would help install the fuel pump
Now that I finally got the wife's 99 running, there are a few items that she's unhappy about.
I installed an Exedy "Racing" Organic clutch (not the OEM replacement clutch) and a Walbro 190LPH HP fuel pump. The clutch chatters just a bit (but I have no issues driving it since I slip the clutch a tad on take off, but my wife hates it), and the fuel pump is a bit noisy.
Both have 1k miles on them.
$100 for the clutch and $45 for the fuel pump with all the installation parts. They're still in the car. I have new parts on the way...

The fuel pump install is pretty easy on a Miata.
1) Pull back carpet on the package shelf
2) remove fuel tank cover plate
3) remove the fuel filler cap to release pressure
4) remove fuel lines and fuel pump plug (have some rags stuffed around it in case some fuel spills out of the lines)
5) remove fuel tank access panel screws
6) lift out access panel/ pump assembly (attached to the bottom of the panel)
7) Swap pumps (1 screw, 1 retaining band, and a power plug hold it on)
8 ) put it all back together
whats the stock lph? on a 99 miata

*** The instructions I gave above are for an NA Miata. The process for an NB might be different.***
Swapping the pumps is not hard. I would be willing to help for a lunch or something.
Now the clutch is a different story...

don, what do you need a FP for? Even modest boost is fine with stock FP.
Billy, might be interested in the FP. Any idea on interchangeability for an NA for your FP?

To be honest, I don't know. I could do a little research...
I'm not looking forward to pulling the trans. Again!
