From what little I've read, the stock GM replacements are fine and available.

[1990 quasar blue]

GM 25055052
Delco GF481
Fram G3727
HASTINGS GF111
PUROLATOR F33144
WIX 33481

Relieve the pressure at the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and loosen the gas cap.

I think I got a Purlator or something but have not replaced it yet. I got it thinking it may be why my car was running bad, but I checked the pressure at the fuel rail and was all good, so I never replaced it.

I may do it just to see if there will be any difference in the pressure. I was toward the lower end of the factory specs, but still well within good range.

I'm no expert but neither of those #'s are what I get at the chevy dealer. I order by application and it's always been GF481. Mind the small o-rings on the hard lines going into the filter. Make sure ya don't loose them or that they are nicked or in bad shape. I change my F/F every year....it's cheaper that the pumps.
