[Shotimes] PS pulsing

There will never be a better time than while that engine is out.

I used the remanned rack from O'Reillys.  Only cost about 75 bucks net.

www.rockauto.com lists remanned PS pumps by AC Delco for an insanely low
price.  I wonder if a) they're the right one and 2) if they are any good.
Under 40 bucks as I recall.  Seems too good to be true as AZ charges around
$130 or so.

Anyone use one of those rockauto supplied AC Delco pumps?

Steve
