A/C Delco, has a book that shows all their pumps vital specs., and what they
look like.  Remember when doing an intank, that means a tank R+R for any
pump work.  Personally while not as silent, I like a big dumb noisy one I
can
fix with out a hoist, and 2 friends.  Twice I've wound up changing pump
brushes on the side of the road (less than 20 mins)..  I also carry a spare
ignition module,
cap rotor some long plug wires, fuel filter  and only once been towed home,
in
many years/miles of driving.
