Starting issues car cranks but no start

Glad you got it figured out and had the car at home and not stranded somewhere. When mine died I just happened to be in the parking lot of a mechanic's shop as I had just followed my mom there to have her car looked at. I don't remember what they used for a new fuel pump, I just remember it was a $750 bill.

I'm lucky I can do it myself but I think it's going to be very unpleasant. I have a full tank of gas. Can a siphon hose pass down to this cars tank unimpeded or will I encounter some kind of restriction device?

There is a metal piece down the tube which will prevent you from getting a hose in the tank. The way to drain it is with an external pump in the line. If you don't get it down to about 5 gallons you are correct about it being an unpleasant job you'll be swimming in gas.

yeah that is what I thought

Ok... got the fuel tank drained down to about 3/8 and also got the six 8 millimeter screws loosened.
I can assume you don't cut wires so where is the disconnect plug located? Also there is a
clearance issue. So what procedure is required to remove the pump mechanism from the tank
without mangling anything? This is such a pain in the ..... I remember when I was a kid I replaced my mothers
Ford Gran Torino fuel pump and filter. That was a piece of cake.

I changed mine this spring. Here is a good video. There is an electrical connector just above the tank. You need to remove the RR wheel to gain access. The guy in the video used a pick to release the connector. It worked for me too.

Thanks for the video link. When you did yours did you replace the whole entire unit or just the motor and what brand parts did you use?

I tried locating an OEM fuel pump replacement cant find one. I want to replace the whole entire assembly.
What is a good high quality after market replacement for the Marauder?
