[Shotimes] fuel pressure issue

The check valve AFAIK is internal. I just took my
155lph walbro out and took a picture of it for you (of
the box, not of the car). The only things sticking out
of it are the hardline and electrical contacts. If I
shake it  I can hear something rattling inside which I
assume is a ball inside of a check valve (unless
something is broken?)

By the way, I recommend the 155lph pump (190
overwhelms the stock FPR) and I also recommend APE.
www.APEusa.com

I think the 155 is $78 shipped. I think I got mine the
next day from him. He is fast.

Oh, the only external objects that mount to the pump
are a pulse dampener (I did not reuse it last time and
all has been fine) and the tank level sender
contraption.
