Re: Crossover pumps

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

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).

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?
