Airtex is no where near a Walbro 392 in quality. It's an Auto Zone pump, trust me I am a commercial driver there and have had more of the pumps returned than you could shake a stick it.

AIrtex lift pump lasted 3mo in my stock 92.

FWIW- We had a Walbro pump go out on my mom's Lincoln in just under a year.

It could last or it could crap right out. I wouldn't suggest it. I delivered an Airtex pump to a garage on tuesday and on thursday morning I was picking it back up because it ran for less than 10 minutes and quit. I would hold out and search for something better. I am really giving second thoughts on an electric supply pump for my truck. When the 14mm is on, it may be a different story. If you do try it, I wish you the best of luck.
