Best tool for cutting access panel

I know, surprisingly Acdelco doesn’t have one. This would be my choice I suppose.

^^^This, and mate it to an ACDELCO EP381 pump from a 96 5.7L Vortec.

Probably tha,t with a GM pump, as the Bosch one is also discontinued. All the more reason to cut a hatch, we simply cant get good parts sometimes. Its just a crap shoot now.

edit: I had considered the vortec pump, but I really dont like how much higher the pressure is, going from 9-14 psi to 55 psi in your fuel system is asking for leaks. That would only make my fiery death guaranteed.

^^^Yes it is, which is why I scour the planet in search of NOS parts!

It will only build as much pressure as your regulator spring is set. It just gives you more flow and is more robust than the anemic EP386

The pump does not set the fuel system pressure. The pressure regulator sets the fuel system pressure (as long as the return system can handle pump volume.)

In this case, the return system is known to have adequate capacity. Fuel pressure is whatever the regulator allows.

There you go, perhaps the vortec pump is the way to go. Just get a pump for a 96-99?

edit: just saw part number above, thanks guys

Just get the one I posted or, go to RockAuto.com and plug in for a 96. IDK if/when the later ones changed wiring connectors.

PlayingWithTBI gave the part number, hence the edit
