Default walbro fuel pump can't fit the stock pump bracket!! Please help!!

So, I took off the stock fuel pump and try to install the walbro in the housing, but I can't put the clip on support bracket at the bottom to go in and lock. Can I just put a cable tie to hold it? Please help!!

If I am running stock fuel rail and 440 cc injectors with the vortech, do I need to drill holes or remove anything from the fuel pump assembly?

No you don't have to do any of that. Phunks directions are perfectly fine I was just trying to help you out since you seemed to indicate you couldn't open the link to his instructions.

Alternatively, my wife and I posted our Walbro experience

https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/304690-revup-vortech-installation-joining-the-ranks-of-fi.html

I hope it helps. We didn't get any pictures before we buttoned it all up but the written description is very good.
