im pretty sure my airtex (bought from auto zone) fuel pump overheated yesterday while wheeling. (getting load backfiring missing etc.)

i know that the auto parts places carry the bosch pump, but it doesnt seem like the whole assembly.

can i buy the bosch parts and put them on the airtex assembly?
ive been through a few of the airtex pumps and want to do this right. the first one worked a month, replaced it with warrenty, lasted oh about a year gave me problems after wheeling one day and it sat and was fine after that until now.

TIA
 
Well, I guess I would check the fuel pressure to confirm your suspicions.

Yes, I think you could mount a Bosch pump to the airtex assembly.

Can't make it fit--fab something up with clamps/hose/plumber's tape?
 
curious: whats the price differences between the Delphi, Airtex, Bosch, and OEM/Mopar Pumps?

I figure when mine goes ill spend the coin on the OEM replacement because all I here is complaints about the cheaper alternatives.

Does Napa have a pump?

Sorry for the hijack :cheers:

I bought a Bosch for mine off rockauto.com for $72 total delivered to my door. They have some fantastic sales at times. I didn't even need the pump, just opened the box to inspect it, then taped it back up and its sitting on the shelf.

hahaha preparing for the inevitable.
 
I swapped for the pump from a 2000ish body era of a 4.6L V8 mustang. It was slightly smaller than the stock pump on my 1991 XJ but it fit in there just fine since the sock holds the bottom on and you are connecting it with a bit of fuel hose anyway. Then I used the supplied clamps to hook it to my hanger. The Holly brand pump I got was like $15 bucks cheaper than the stock aftermarket pump.
