Fuel pump issues

[Bommadorelife]

so our fuel pump needed to be replaced.... it’s was the original one put in when the car was built....

We bought a cheap $50 one off eBay installed and filled tank - gauge only read to 3/4 tank instead of full.

Removed it, fiddled with floated to see if we could get it working right and reinstalled. Now it only reads on empty float is not working at all.


When we turn corners sharp or at speed we loose power for a few seconds when turning right. Still about 1/2 a tank of fuel?

Do I get a cheap one again?
Get a more expensive one?

Since the original one lasted 16 years it make sense to go genuine.
I just replaced my original one which was still working 16 years later. I thought it can't have too much more life in so I replaced it with a genuine Delphi unit before I was left stranded somewhere. With some things it's not worth going cheap.
