Save the money and take some risk by getting the Carter pump. If you're picking the part up locally, you might open the Carter box and check the pump assembly for any evidence of the brand.
When putting things back together, use anti-seize compound so if you do need to do the job again, you don't have to worry about breaking bolts.
Also, don't forget to replace the fuel filter when you replace the pump.

We had a long crank to start problem with ours. But if we gave it two start sequences, turn the key on, let the fuel pump run for its one second, then turn the key off, turn it on again letting it run another one second, then turn the key far enough to crank the starter we would get %100 start success. I suspected this to be a fuel pressure regulator issue. Problem is, all of this (including the pressure regulator) is in the tank. My suggestion is that, getting the tank down is enough effort to warrant replacing the whole unit, even at the larger price...otherwise you may be doing this again.

Spend a couple extra bucks and do the job once. Here's a Motorcraft on Amazon for $225... Amazon.com: Motorcraft PFS-42 mine was delivered in less than 2 days. I went cheap in the past on a couple of parts, thinking the car wouldn't last that long and found myself replacing them again. On a project like this you only want to do it one time.
