3800 still having fuel pump issues

[xierxior]

ok I installed a walbro pump after I installed it I had problems where I'd have to keep cranking the car 5/6 times before it would start because the system would not fully prime I ordered it from wbs and the install instructions make absolutely no sense what so ever to me the pump didn't come with a corougated hose for whatever reason but it came with a rubber efi line am I suppose to use that rubber line to connect the pump to the fuel fitting at the top of the housing? where the courugated hose used to connect to? I tried using the stock hose and I think it was allowing pressure to bleed off cuasing the hard starting situation.

and if you use that rubber line do you need to use a hose clamp on the top where it mounts to the housing because I can't fit one on there with it like that..

I'll be needing a fuel pump strainer to because it broke when I tried taking it off..

I decided to get creative and take a dremal to the top of the housing as you can see this gives me enough room to get a clamp on there now so I think this will work
