update: fuel pump 5.7

[POINTER94]

I have a 5.7l 1988 with a thunderbolt ignition. I need to replace the fuel pump. I think that it uses a Merc Part #97401A8, what is the AC equivalent? Is it a 41412?<br /><br />Any idea if I got the merc # right and is the cross right?<br /><br />Thanks

Go to your local NAPA and ask to see the book on their Sierra line of marine parts. They have most Mercruiser, OMC, & Volvo parts. Prices are much better than Merc.

Be sure the pump you use isn't for a car. It has to be vented to the carb or it may be the last pump you ever buy. These are Sierras, check out this page and the previous page to match up your style of pump. close to the top of the page is a link to the application chart.<br /><br /> http://www.theshadconnection.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?page=292

Hey I found the exact mercruiser # I need. It is 861678A1. Its in bad shape and is leaking into the carb with the relief tube.<br /><br />I have a chance to buy a AC marine fuel pump, 41412. I just don't know if it crosses. Looks mean nothing. Is there a cross reference somewhere?<br /><br />Thanks again guys

I believe that the 41412 number is the one for my pump...which went on a 305 Chevy, should be the same pump.
