Tracy is shooting you a pretty good price, Rich.

The RX7 hot-rodders typically put in a Walbro drop-in replacement
in-tank fuel pump. It pushes 255 liters per hour (67 gals an
hour--if your fuel burn is that high, your engine must be on
fire...) and costs about $135.

Ray Lochhead at SR Motorsports carries the Walbro (925) 516-7382,

Incidentally, the reason the in-tank pump has replaced the older
style engine mounted pump is that the in-tank ones are a lot less
prone to vapor lock. While that was a very common affliction for
older carbureted cars running mechanical fuel pumps, it is
virtually un-heard of as a car problem today.
