is the 240sx fuel pump adequate for the ca if i'm going to be putting the thing in bone stock?

also...i know you'll tell me to to search but where can i get a STOCK clutch for the ca. everything i've found while searching is for a performance clutch. i'm definitely not going to be going over 200hp on this thing for a long time, and never drag race, so stock clutch is fine for me.

guh...i'm getting nervous. do i pull the trigger tomorrow on a clip from venus? :confused: :confused: :confused: i just want to make sure i don't drop $2100 and then find out i'm missing some huge piece of the puzzle.

NO do yourself a favor and spend a little bit of money and get the walbro 255l/h fuel pump. i got mine from http://www.fuel-pumps.net and it was something like 86 bucks and another 8 or so for the installation "kit" which consisted of some little things i didnt need and could not have ever added up to the amount i paid for them. buy it though, as im not quite sure what it comes with w/o it. got here in a few days too. the stock fuel pump will run the car alright, but itll starve when you step on it. the stock clutch is the same as the one from the ca18et in a 1989 pulsar (im pretty sure thats what it came in anyway). just go to advance auto (i refuse to go to autozone as they suck a lot of wang) and ask for one, should be pretty cheap, but you couls also just spend a little more and get a spec clutch, since we both know you wont be able to leave it stock for more than a week.
