I have seen a number of different name brands I do not recognize and the last thing I want is a cheap off-shore brand that will not hold up after going through all the work of pulling a tank. The pumps listed below are both about $60.00 while I have seen some of the 'other brands' in the $20 range. I am also open to other suggestions as long as they are quality products. Also, do all pumps come as complete kits? The Bosch comes with wires, tubing, gaskets and clamps while the ACDelco is pictured as just a pump.

Bosch 69222 VS ACDelco EP378

My personal preference would be the Bosch but that's just me.

I cannot speak from personal experience, but many people on the forum have said to use the AC Delco pump. Other pumps supposedly make quite a bit more noise than the Delco pump.

Go with a Delco or a Delphi pump.

in my opinion both pumps are great as long as you dont use the airtex brand fuel pump from advance or autozone

Yeah, the Airtex was the cheap one I was referring to but I did not want to give them any free publicity. Do they all come as complete kits though or do some come as a bare pump?

If you run a swap with higher fuel demands (to a point) I would recommend the Bosch 69225 (AC Delco EP-381) .
For a stock 2.8L the Bosch 69222 or EP-376 are overkill but they won't do any harm.
Bosch Fuel Pumps are made in their own factory in Brazil. I've been running the Bosch for the last two years with no reliability or fuel supply problems. Bosch is a turbine pump and as such does not require a pulsator. They run quiet.
AC Delco has degenerated to a Made in China re-boxed part supplied by the contract manufacturer that bids the lowest price of unknown quality. The US facilities of AC Delco were closed a while ago. All that remains original is the design of the box. Ac Delco fuel pumps are gyrator pumps that pump in pulses, hence the need for a pulsator.

If you decide to buy an ACDelco fuel pump, be careful where you buy it.

Should I be ticked off that the fuel pump I received is not what I ordered?

I am buying from the true amazon store.

Dennis, does that mean it is hard to tell if the pump is actually working, lol. Thanks, that is good information to know. Especially if I am buying via the mail. If at a store I can check if it is American made.

Unless it is old stock AC-Delco will now be Chinese made. Both pump brands work. Its a question of how long they might last.

Some times individuals can sell through Amazon and so can other companies. When other companies do so they can do it directly through their own store OR they can do it where it says fulfilled by Amazon(they give amazon the stock and Amazon does the actual shipping from an Amazon warehouse). If you deal directly with Amazon there are fewer issues and problems should you have to return an item.
