Fuel Pump Replacement, ACDELCO? AIRTEX ? Or

[domin8]

Spectra (aka SPI) makes some decent stuff, radiators, condensers, compressors, etc. I'd think the same goes for their fuel pumps, but honestly I don't know. When I worked in auto parts I was told Carter was actually the OE supplier for GM. That was as per Carter. The parts company I worked for had a policy of only carrying and selling parts that meet or exceed OE quality. They carried Carter. Additionally, in 3½ years of working at the business I only sold Carter fuel pumps. Rarely did I have one come back for warranty (~80% of my sales were b2b). When I did have one come back the customer would go through a few of them and tell me how they were junk only to come back and say the problem was actually something else on the car that would cause the pump to fail or an idiot technician.

Again, this was just my experiences.

If you go with one from advance and order online and pick up at store, try using promo code BIG 75 for $75 off. I use those code a lot when buying from them online. The $ amount is per what you spend, when ordering from advance just keep changing code # until one takes, heck you can get $25 to $35 off on most orders over $75. Just my lil tip on saving, and if they don't stock it they will deliver most items with free shipping.

BIG 75 says, is not valid, but I used code VISA and got $50 off.

I agree, it only looks like its been sitting in rusty fuel and sludge for about 5 years, hah.
