Nice! Didn't even begin to think of what model Walbo unit I would need for my kit, when I get it of course! Where can the unit from the Miata be found?

Well I had gotten mine from Beau, that seems to not be a very good idea at this point in time, so I would contact Ken from protegegarage.com.

He can confirm but this should be the right part:
Miata94-97255LPH HPGSS342-400-848

yes. you do. if you're talking about the walbro in tank, you have to take out this little rubber piece, and basically SMASH the plastic holder on it...kind of hard. but, you can do it.

easier way to modifiy it, that plastic retainer clip, get a dremel tool, and notch it out.. that was the only modification i had to make, took abotu 10 min
