it has a plastic removable bowl with a 80 micron metal screen inside

That qualifies as a pre filter and water seperator and believe me over time you save a bundle on main filters if you keep an eye on that bowl. If you clean it out before the trash gets solid up about about 1/3 to 1/2 way up you will catch it before it starts letting any water to the main filter and just pop the bowl and clean it off with a can of brake cleaner and you're good to go. If you let it go a little long, then drain teh main filter water drain as well.

It's amazing how much crud that screen catches.

I cut the plastic line just a short ways past the selector valve and spliced the pump in with rubber hose clamped right over the plastic. Works great and that plastic line is so stiff you really can't collapse it by clamping on the hose.

I'm interested it one, but I'm curious as to what happens to the stock pump? Do yall just pull the hoses off and let it go? seems like a temporary fix to a permanent problem...

A fuel block-off plate from a Chevy Big Block bolts right onto these engines to block the stock pump port. Even if they did leave the stock pump plugged in all it'd be doing is pumping air....

Cool, I was just wondering because I figured once it started pumping air it would go out pretty quick, figured it might make noise or fall apart and let **** into the motor...

It certainly could. I'd be afraid to just leave it in the block. Especially when the fix (pulling, plugging, and bypassing it) is cheap and easy.;Sweet
