Supra Pump 2G AWD installs POORLY

[MaineDSM]

I just installed a Supra pump on my '96 2G AWD.
It went fine, but there is NO WAY to hook up the
wires for the fuel gauge.
The Supra pump is SO DAMN HUGE it totally blocks
off the electrical connector socket for all the wires
but (fortunately) the pump power wires.

I read every thread, every VFAQ before I got this
pump and saw NO mention of this.

Anyone else had this problem?

I mean, the pump is about 3 times (at least) bigger
than the stock pump. I can't believe I've never
heard of this problem before. During the install, I
found myself saying "I wish I had bought a Walbro."

I put a supra pump in my 2G AWD, it fit, although the connector was a little close. You have to make sure that fuel level sender connector is plugged in before you mount the pump, and it should fit. You just wont be able to unplug that connector without removing the pump. Not that you should need to do so.

The pic is a little blurry, sorry for that.

That's my problem. It wasn't "a little close". The fuel pump covers up the ENTIRE connector. I tried bending it to the side... no joy.

Link works. Maybe your computer is broken?

I don't know what else to tell you about the Supra pump install. I did it, others have done it. I do remember I had to put the pump in at a little bit of an angle, but I was able to get it in after a little bit of tweaking on it. I may have a few more pics of the assembly before I installed it at home, I will post them for you later if I find some.

must be a mac thing. I hate using these but that is all they have here at work (damn scientists). This is the message I get:

It's a traffic thing.

Don't smack the Mac. Or I'll add code to the OS to make you unhappy. 8)
