Just called Clarks, and the new fuel pumps are delay til fall or winter. I took that as even possibly a year, thus ordered their electrical fuel kit.

I wish you luck, if they are still using the Airtex E8016S. They are Chinese made now and don't last 2 years. Take the advise from members get something else for a reliable pump.

I suggest the in-tank pump

Call them and ask to hold shipment. Then ask what pump part number they are shipping and where it was manufactured.

I still have a pump kit I bought from Clarks in 1995. It got moved to my spares box for my More Door. I will trust that pump more than the same part numbered one in rhe car now.

The Coupe, which was getting the pump kit, is getting the in-tank pump.
