Sputtering when throttle applied ... what gives?

You will not need a new locking ring for the fuel pump. It has a giant plastic ring/nut that screws to the top of the tank. Just buy a pump, it comes with all the seals, hose, clamps, and screen.

Only use Carter or Ford fuel pumps, anything else is junk.

My truck was running lean, just as yours is. Had the same fuel pressure your does. Then a week later, there i was putting a pump in it.

FYI, it is a waste of time to put a new fuel pump in without completely emptying the tank and cleaning the hell out of it. you must make sure there is absoultely no dirt in the tank, that screen on the bottom of the pump does almost nothing (but that doesn't mean to leave it out) Good Luck

He is correct about the plastic ring, my bad. Crossed memory with replacing the pump on my 93 Explorer. Thanks

Good luck
