Check the For Sale section.

And why the hell do you have purchased in quotes?

I was able to order a referbished one through the local Radiator shop. It was for a 1985 GSL. Kinda exspensive though. Make shure you cahnge the fuel filter after the first month or so and again in another couple months. See the referbished ones are blasted so they are full of grit that gets traped behind the baffels in the tank and that **** clogs the fiter fast, but for $6.00 and 10 min who cares.

Good luck

Matt

Mazdatrix sells them for about $350, I think. SA tanks aren't available anymore new.

Does your tank leak? 'Cause if it's just dirty on the inside, you can send it to a radiator shop and have the inside steamed and sealed. I did that to my '80 gas tank and it works great. Cost about $50.

Why buy a stock fuel pump? Especially for $110?
I wouldn't if I were you. Buy a Holley Red if you're going to spend that kind of money. Hell, even a $30 purolator red works good on a stock setup. Then just get a regulator for another $30 and you're set.
If you REALLY want a stock fuel pump. I'll sell you the old one from my 84 GSL. :P
