Thanks.

Yea I probably should have just googled before I asked that... Its right under the rear seat if what I read is correct.

Under the rear seat....make sure to have some tin snips.

Lucky contour owners get your nice return systems. I'm stuck with my returnless and little I can do other than the pump itself.

not all contour owners, just pre98s as I believe Ford went to returnless on the Zetec with the 98 model year (unlike the V6 which was a change in the middle of the 99 model)

Pre-98 FTMFW!!!

In spring, I'm changing my Mazda6 to return style. Returnless is stupid. It's only a way for manufacturers to save a a couple bucks. Returnless causes the fuel pump to run hotter, it heats up the fuel, and any air that gets into the system MUST go through the injectors.

Hmmm I wonder how difficult it would be to swap to a return style in my coug.

Button Puncher do you have pics of your setup?

[ButtonPuncher]

Sure! Here's a shot of the FPR and my latest CAI. The picture isn't completely accurate. I've since upgraded to an optima yellow top and relocated my air-oil separator.




If you want to see something specific, I can snap a few pics.

I'll admit... My Contour is a sleeper. Steel wheels, no hubcaps, stock tan paint, no tint. Not much to look at but a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

My mod list was lost when my roadrunner page went down, but I've got a ton of mods. BAT suspension, ATI rear subframe, BAT rear swaybar, rear discs, and pretty much every engine bolt-on.

I have a 2000 Mystique. What pump would work best for my car?? I know I need the returnless pump but I dont know which one is gonna fit my car. I have done some searching and come up with nothing. Is there anyway someone could maybe post a link to the best pump for my car????? It would be much appreciated.
