Yoiu can get good prices at JDs or go to http://www.autoperformanceengineering.co...#ford_apps
for kits tailored to TC
You don't really need an AFPR until you get close to maxing out you injectors. What mods have you made?

I have to second Pete's recommendation for APEUSA.com. They send you ALL of the parts you need, and send them fast. That is where I got mine. They responded to emails during working hours on the same day, with helpful and informed answers. I ordered the kit (vice the pump alone,) and it arrived the next day. (The car was in the same city as APEUSA at the time.) Dropped the tank, pulled the old pump, and didn't have to go to the parts store for any more parts. Soldered a couple of joints, but that was it. I had none of the other problems that some others have had.

Hope this helps.

I just did my pump a couple of weeks ago.I would recommend you get a new o-ring and lock ring for sender.Mine was pretty rusty from almost 20 years of crap sitting up there.There cheap like $8.Also the rubber o-ring has a nasty way of expanding after you release it from its slumber!

I have a 255hp, and a stock fpr and LA3. No problems attributable to the FPR.
