..."For a sure fit, Venom uses carefully reclaimed OEM housing units to hold the Super Cool Fuel Pump’s new internal performance parts"...

Where do they reclaim them from? There are complete modules available for the same price online. Why not get the fuel level sender included?

Personally, I'd stick with a Delphi part. And I'd go with the whole assembly with the level sensor also. Those hoses that connect the pump to the assembly can become brittle over time. And the unit requires 2 filter/socks.
One on the base of the unit, another inside of it.

I tried a Carter pump, and it gave out after 13 months and less than 5k miles.

(I've yet to see a pump assembly for a '97 Blazer for under $300.00.
The Carter was $320.00 2 years ago, the Delphi I got for a discount of $308.00 from the guy who sold me the Carter, he felt sorry for me and gave me his purchase price, Dealer price is around $500.00)

Try going to a U Pull it site. They usually have rows and rows of old blazers. When you get there, drop the old tank, and yank out the old fuel pump. Works great.
