it should but an in tank pump is probably cheaper I think I gave the wrong pressure as well if you have port fuel it should be 41-47 PSI not the one I gave earlier.

Thanks,you gave same pressure as guy at parts store .It is just 3/4 inch rubber fuel lines plus old style canister filter, with clamps. Electric in line pump would get me home. I used to put them on my cabin cruisers, carburetors.Thanks!
