If you're cheap, like me, you could buy the Proparts assembly, take it apart in the living room while watching TV and find out what's in it. Also, buy the Walbro fuel pump for $55 so you can replace the original failed one so you have a complete spare drop-in assembly, in case you plan to drive cross country or something like that. It never hurts to have a complete spare drop-in. Fuel pumps can go bad anytime. If the Proparts unit has a no-name pump, order another Walbro and throw it in the Proparts assembly. If it makes you feel better, I had to pay almost $450 for the fuel pump assembly from a Saab dealer in 1997. On top of that, I spent Christmas Day under the Saab draining and dropping the tank because I didn't know about the access cover in the trunk. I pull the fuel pump assembly from every Saab I junk. I think I have three spare assemblies.
