AIRTEX FUEL PUMP AT WALMART

[48ply1stcar]

While searching for a good price for the AIRTEX 73201 fuel pump.  I found it available through WALMART.  It's the same price as Amazon $68.30.

walmart, like sears and many other companies now, in the age of the internet, have started acting as a "middleman" for many many vendors through their websites. you can "buy" through walmart but it'll most likely get drop shipped through Airtex themselves.

didja check amazon?  Go to the site and put in the airtex part number and see what comes up.

I just paid $160 Cdn for the same fuel pump through our local parts supplier.

Rock auto wants $59 for their airtex pump.

I bought mine at Rock Auto.  No problems so far but I'm only running it mounted in the frame only for now.

I need a pump for mine, and the question is...  On the Airtex 73201, it has this note:

(All except models equipped with combination fuel and vacuum pump)

 

How do I know what is correct for my car?

Does you car have a dual action (vacuum for wipers and pump for fuel) pump on it? Quick check is to see if there is a vacuum line from the manifold to the pump and from the pump into the car body.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I need to order this today.  

Problem is, I'm in NC, and the car is in IL.  I'll call my repair man and ask?

I often buy from home..drop ship as gifts to others...easy to do....

Just bought mine from AutoPartsExpress.  $66.20 delivered.

 

Update,  This car does have vacuum wipers!  So, now I'm wondering how to deal with that.

 

The only fuel pump available is the single action, as far as I can tell.

Yes vacuum wipers but does the vacuum supply come from the engine or the fuel pump?

It is unlikely that your 46 plym has the fuel pump with the vacuum. I do not think that it was that common.

 

Your wiper vacuum source is probably the intake manifold.

Good deal,  Now I can concentrate on repairing the vacuum wiper motor.
