'95 Contour Fuel Pump. Which One?

[mjwood0]

My fuel pump makes some weird noises when I turn the key and it primes. I have a feeling it's not really all that great and want to replace it before it fully craps out.

My car is a 95. I believe from what I've read here, that means it has a return style system and that I won't have to modify the sheet metal to get it out.

So. My question is this. Searching autozone, I got two hits but I don't know which one!

Part Number: E2068
Weight: 1.05 lbs.
Warranty:1 YR
Note: Wide terminals

-- or --

Part Number: E2157
Weight: 0.95 lbs.
Warranty: 1 YR
Note: Thin terminals

So I guess it's wide terminals vs. thin terminals. They are both right around $130. Is this a good deal?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I got curious and pulled the pump assembly. Pretty darn easy if I do say. The hardest part was getting the darned back seat out. Those seat belt clips sure don't fit well through the small holes...

However, even with it out, I couldn't figure out how to get the pump part out of the whole assembly. I feel like a bit of a dolt -- got the whole assembly out in less than 10 minutes and spent almost a half hour scratching my head wondering how the pump comes loose...

Anyway, put it back in and the strange noise seems to have stopped. We'll see...
