Which fuel pump?

What's the best stock replacement mechanical fuel pump for our engines?

Stock Ford, Airtex, ???

And where's the best place to get one for a good price?

All the mechanical pumps are made by Carter. I got mine from Autozone. Just shop for best price is what I tell everyone who asks.

When we replaced the pump last year, we got it at advanced auto and used one of the 40% off coupon codes. don't know if you have them out there but would guess that, even with shipping, it would be the most economical. Coupon codes work for the online ordering process.

Good call on discount code. I know A-zone and advance do something similar. Can even use online code and pick up at the store IIRC

Yup...if Brownie wants to do it, advanced sent me a 'referral' offer where the recipient (emailed) is supposed to get 40% off...maybe another 'special' coupon code.

From what I can gather they are all made by Airtex. I haven't called or e mailed Carter / Federal Mogul. But others have and have gotten no real answer from them. Bosch doesn't distribute them anymore. Find the best price and go for it. They are all built in the same place.

This one is about the best price I have seen. Someone listed it here a while ago and I saved it. Like others have said, they're all the same so just get the best price you can find.

Thanks guys.

I'm stopping to see Clay on my way home from Cali anyways to pick up a fuel bowl 0-ring kit and maybe a turbo boot. So I'll see if he can help me with the pump too.

If Clay can't help me I'll try the coupon codes.

Evan, facing the engine it is on the bottom side of the pump and just left of the plunger (passenger side) that goes into the block.

Thanks Jim. I just want to make sure that the pump isn't causing my fuel leak.

Pretty sure it's the fuel bowl leaking, but don't want to take all that stuff out and NOT do the fuel pump if it's going bad.
