Have an '89 Cressida with 160K plus miles on it, running the factory fuel pump. No issues currently but looking to take a long road trip and seems like a good idea to do some pre-emptive wrench turning.
Autozone had two, an "Asian Manf'd" for like $160 something, and an Airtex for $130 something, Also getting the tank gasket and the pickup filter.
My brother who does car stuff adamantly insists that anything from Autozone is garbage - period, that I need to go with either Toyota parts or what he called "A line" parts from someone *other* than the well known places like Autozone, Advance/Discount auto parts, Bumper To Bumper. The problem with anything from Toyota obviously is the cost. I've never priced a valve stem cap there but I feel reasonably certain it wouldn't be under $20. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration.
What say you? You think I'd be asking for trouble installing the Airtex unit? Any other brands you recommend?
Does the term A-line mean anything to you?
Thanks
