An actual number; Was: how much gas could a pump pump if a pump could pump gas?
The early 84 cars and older have only one fuel pump and the late 84 cars and
newer have the twin fuel pump system with a prepump in the tank.

hmm..
it seems there may have been a break from the 84 to the 85 and up fuel
pumps. At least that's how they are broken down on Adirondacks site, ND also
claims different part numbers from 84 and older vs the 85 and newer, but on
Potters they are all the same part possibly.
