Default Fuel pump question

I have a fuel pump from a 1996. I have been trying to find part numbers
to figure out what years it is compatible with and one of the places
that sells them indicates that the same pump fits all 1990 - 2005
models, which doesn't sound right to me.
Trussville and Mazda South don't list them at all, at least not that I
can find.
Can anyone confirm this for me please?

Thanks!

Pat

According to this
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sh...zda/miata.html
there are different pumps for different years and engines (1.6, 1.8).

Fascinatingly, they "Stock Mazda Miata Fuel Pump for the following
model-years: 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997,
1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985,
1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980." Intriguing that they go as far back as 1980.

Your experience about not finding the fuel pump on the two sites you mention
is peculiar, and I just experienced the same. I've ordered lots of stuff
from http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/ and they've always had what I wanted, and
then lots more (very good job the shop isn't round the corner from me,
that's all I can say); however, they don't have the fuel pump. I wonder why
otherwise well-stocked places don't have it?

The fuel pump cross ref is screwed up.
Next-- The replacement pump cross reference is also a mess.
The NA pumps have different specs than the NB pumps.
A replacement pump is made by Walbro (and others) the problem is basically
determining which one by part # to use.
To add insult to injury, different sources of Walbro pumps use different
numbers for the same pump.

On a replacement pump--
The pump "kit" is the same for the NA & NB. ( Filter bag and misc hardware)
The pump is strapped to the pump bracket instead of screwed to it. A rubber
sleeve is usually supplied to help reduce noise. It also allows the strap to
work properly. The strap may be metal or even a plastic "wire tie" that
works ok when exposed to fuel.
The "pigtail" from the factory pump is spliced or modified) to fit the
replacement pump. (The connector and terminals may be different on the
replacement pump.)
Some variation in length is allowed. The bottom of the replacement pump
needs to have the same physical layout as the factory pump, in order to fit
the support bracket.

I used a Walbro 190hp on my 99.

If you have a 99, you should consider replacing the bypass regulator
attached to the fuel pump bracket with the newer version. (Tech bulletin)

A 190HP waterpump? That doesn't leave much power for the rear
wheels.

Grant,
It's a "fuel pump" that they are talking about, not a water pump !

The "hp" stands for the high pressure version. It's doubtful that a normally
asperated Miata needs this option. On the other hand, the option seems to
help with turbo'd versions using the original 99 non return fuel system.

After all, ~108rhp stock vs ~220rhp boosted (rear wheel HP) means that a
little more fuel is needed.

It's still not as big as some of the all numeric part numbers used for the
same or variants of the pump.
Glad I'm not in the parts business!
