parts guy ed
Is he a Ford dealer selling only Ford parts? Just wondering? I just set up an account with them because my (&^)*&%^)* fuel pump just started puking. I wanted to put electric fuel on it this spring but I can't afford it right now. Have to get a new mechanical one. I was browsing around at his prices and if they are OEM parts then I've been getting ripped on my account at the local Ford dealer. I think I am gonna like this guy.

Great. I guess it all will be oem parts then. I just can't get over the price of that fuel pump on there. It's about a hundred bucks cheaper than the same motorcraft one at Oreilleys WITH my wholesale account. Them crooks!

I thought delphi made the Ford ones. I know from experience that most junk from the parts store doesn't last worth a crap. Electrical parts are the worst but I don't want a fuel pump going out on the road either. That might cause a bullet to somehow go through my engine.

I've dealt with ed quite a bit for parts for my truck and for my kids taurus. Very helpful and smart and always has what I need. I'm like you RRranch, my local ford parts guy is a total idiot that knows nothing. I don't know how he works there. I don't even remember the prices, just the idiocy. I love dealing with ed.

In this day and age, if you find a decent parts person, you better stick with them as much as possible.
They are on the endangered species list for sure.

Another vote for Ed.

FWIW I get my oem Carter fuel pumps at A-zone, too, for under $100. Not sure what Ed sells them for.

All auto zone now lists is an airtex pump. I'm scared of them really. It seems like every single thing I have bought from auto zone except for a set f rear coils for my wifes antique buick was junk.

Oreilleys also has the airtex listed. And a Bosche. They do have the Motorcraft one also but that is very high dollar from those crack addicts. I just don't know what to do now. I really wanted to go to electric fuel when I am done rebuilding my other engine in 2 or 3 months. I hate wasting the money on this now.
