5.3 fuel pump WTF

I run the high pressure filter after the pump (in between pump and motor ) and a low pressure nylon filter in between the tank and pump to take out any large dirt but not restrict the flow to much.
 
I have the GM fuel filter between pump and engine, then I have a earls fuel filter between the fuel tank and the pump.

Bob these are the part numbers :
Walbro 255 intank fuel pump
and
Walbro P256 Pump Kit.

I order from Cyberauto their part numbers are/were
WAL GSS341
WAL 400-760.

I swap to an FJ62 tank and used this pump on my 60. It is much more quiet.

Thanks! I'll probably work up a quick PM about the rest of your fuel system shortly. You're making it easy for me to be lazy!

Must be coincidence, but I am on my 2nd MSD pump, I think I am running model 2225, but the same layout you have. I also had fuel pump problems on my way to Roundup.

I will be following this thread...

so you moved the filter to after the pump?
 
You should put a fuel pressure guage on the fuel rail. There is a schraider valve on the passenger side you can pull it out and install a cheap guage
 
It's in my build thread, but what I did for a strainer was take a cast-off Aeromotive fuel filter assembly and remove it's paper filter. The filter element has stainless steel ends so I cut off the paper and removed the glue holding the paper to the SS parts. Then I rolled some stainless wire mesh into a 'tube' that fit the filter element's SS parts and silver soldered it all together.
