I would like to just install a Delphi pump without the sending unit. Carquest and Oreilly's only list the pump and not the pump and sending unit in the Delphi line plus it would be a lot cheaper.
thanks

Do not forget to check pump and gauge grounds and fuel pump plugin connection.
If they list a direct OEM type Delphi fuel pump and your gauge and wiring and plugin is good then go for it.
Watch O'Rielly they will slip in a atermarket junk or junk Airtex pump instead of the Delphi pump.
But if gauge and module and fuel line fittings and wiring is not good.
Best to replace the complete module when doing it.
And use only the OEM type delphi pump.
You get new fuel gauge and inside fuel lines and connector and line fittings with it if needed.
On the fuel lines double flared steel lines will work for a splice.
But if lines are bad or rusted best to replace with the OEM lines and fittings
Steel to rubber hose with clamps is riskey.
Good Luck
Your system will have 65-105 lbs of pressure on it.
