If it were me, I'd shop for it on RockAuto. Spectra will probably be the more common option. I've used their sender, which is fine, but I've never used the pump. Pump's and pump/sender assemblies are way overpriced at a parts store. You can buy a whole new assembly there for anywhere between a third and a fourth of what you'd buy the same exact thing for at the parts store. If I wasn't in college, I'd probably try the Walbro pump and either reuse my GM sending unit or buy a Spectra sender from RockAuto.

Airtex is fine based on my experience. I've sold/installed them to/for many customers without complaint. Can't go wrong with Delco if you got the money.
Don't run Airtex to feed a vortex though. It's fine for TBI.

Was looking at AC delco , but saw a Delphi. Was not sure how the quality is on them

Both of my pumps are Delphi. Be sure to replace the in tank sock screen filter as well. The filter costs $5 and since your pulling the pump anyways.....might as well do that too. Its cheap insurance against debris getting lodged into your new pump.


Fwiw...I had a Spectre pump and it lasted abkut a month before it had to be pulled and replaced with the Delphi unit. You get what you pay for....cheaper isn't always better. Besides, the cost difference between the cheaper pumps and the Delphi was about $8.

Delphi makes quality parts, been using them for a long time and never had a problem yet with any of their parts.. Spectre is ****..

Sorry. I forgot about Delphi. They have a plant in my hometown of Brookhaven, MS so I'd definitely support that.
