Harold, If you were in my shoes and hear all the stories of the pump
problems you wouldn't believe. The design is old and due to the low quantity
used now days Bosch and others making the 957 just won't try to modify the
problems. If you have the early true German made pump then that is why you
and others are having such good luck. If one of them goes let me know and I
will have it rebuilt.

I'm not sure why one would want to use another pump if you're running 
an OEM fuel system. The OEM Bosch part (the one calling for a banjo 
fitting) has worked well in my car for over 20 years and 70,000 miles. 
I've had two other DeLoreans - one I put 90,000 miles on it and another 
with 30,000 - all OEM pumps. The boots and covers I replaced about 
every 5 years because the covers shrank. I have replaced fuel lines, 
accumulators, RPM relays and filters. But, the fuel pumps have 
performed great.
