Well that's not good news... I removed the pump today and got the bad motor out. The ACDelco kit is on the way. Hope I can make it work. This will REALLY be a bummer if I can't make it work somehow. How are they different??

Pump diameter was a different size. The Delco pumps have an additional fuel line that fills the assembly's pump.

Good luck.

Got my ACDelco unit in the mail on Friday. I didn't have time to put it in because I had to go out of town over night. I did match it up with the bad one I took out though and they look exactly the same. I'm going to install it tomorrow after church. I'll post some pics and let y'all know how it works out.

I got the new ACDelco pump installed in the aftermarket assembly with some slight modifications. It works great and I expect it to be working for a looong time

I took some pictures of what I did and when I get some time I'll upload them and post them to the board. It really wasn't that difficult. The diameter of the ACDelco pump
-vs- the one I took out was identical. If anyone needs the proceedure sooner just send me an email. Thanks for everyones help. My wife is happy so I am happy

Glad it worked out for you Jim.

At about 50 bucks, it seems much cheaper than a full unit.

Looking forward to the pix.

Thanks, Jim

Excellent!

Can you post the part number for the kit?

Thanks for the write up Jim

Thanks Again, Jim

Popping this thread back up as I just ordered the same AC Delco rebuild kit from the same E-bay seller. I figure even if the pump in my van is not bad, it will be eventually!

The last pump I put in I was disappointed to find from Delco Tech they don't make a pump to the O.E.M.pressure spec's anymore.They said the pressure isn't important where the GPH is.I think they cheap out with a cross of a different model. Delphi still builds pumps with both specs.

We'll see what happens I guess as I already ordered it.

Am I just lucky ??
I've had 4 hi-milage vans, and never had a fuel pump failure....

When I was on AC Delco's site I noticed they don't give lifetimes any more.It's 12 months or 1,200 miles.Hummmm-got to be something up with that.

I think Delphi is still lifetime.
