    Happy New Year, Guys

    I very been away with work for awhile, need some help and advice about fuel pumps.
    Today was taking my GS for a ride and a trip to the shop. She started fine and ran for a few minutes while I got ready. On my way out the door she died and would not start no matter what I tried? Nothing worked

    So I had towed to the shop, once there I looked at some things that needed replacement and thought maybe I need a new fuel pump, because at one point the fuel was not moving the line was clear?

    okay, so I went looking for a new fuel pump but here is where I’m confused, I found a carter pump but it’s not for a GS with AC . All the ones I found are for no A/C? Then I tried the carter website there is no carter website it’s not there anymore.

    any advice on which fuel pump to use? Will the non A/C work.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, Dr. Roger

    I will check it out, it seems that’s the only one out there all the others are non AC type.

    Thanks Mart,

    Does the carter work with a AC?

    He needs or wants a 3 line.
    Strange how R Auto lists a/c pumps for 75 but not for 70,71, etc.

    I don't see why any of the 75 pumps would not work on a 70 unless the main fuel feed is different?

    If you look at the bottom of the link I posted, it includes both 75 and 70 Buick 5.7's. I think they are interchangeable. Not sure why R Auto doesn't show them.

    I was thinking guys? Now that I know that they both work, should I not put the correct one back as I have A/C .
    I like her to be as original as possible and I’ve corrected many rigged things on my GS form when I got it.

    Thanks again to all who have posted, you learn allot here and you guys are all great.

    They will both work. If you run the A/C in hot weather, the car may be hard to start with the non-A/C fuel pump.

    Well guys I thought, I ordered the right pump? It arrived today and guess what it was wrong, mine has 3 outlets for the A/C
    The one I received had only 2 outlets, I know that it could be used but even my mechanic says it should be replaced with a 3 outlet one.,
    See oic below of mine, what a nightmare, how can this be so hard to get.
