Richard - Darryl Tinnerstet (www.delorean-parts.com) has a custom pulley that allows the use of a stock Volvo water pump. Several PNDC members have gone that route with great success, and the pulley looks awesome. The fuel pump with a replaceable check valve is a better deal, as the original pump had to be completely replaced if the check valve "checked out" permanently. Darryl has those better pumps as well. The prices for the fuel pump are very competitive with other sources "out there" for the same part numbers. The fuel pump fit is important because the seal boot that fits around the pump must provide a perfect seal so that you don't have gasoline leaking out around the pump body. Some things you just don't want to compromise on (IMHO).

Does anyone have experience with crossover pumps vs. the same parts from a vendor? (I remember someone talking about a VW fuel pump that works awhile go but I don't remember any specifics being given.) Do they all fit and work the same, or is there a major difference in quality? > > Any help would be appreciated, > > Richard
