DELCO is actually short for Dayton Electric Company. An example is the window washer pumps used on a lot of Mopars. DELCO produced them in droves for GM, Ford, and MOPAR. That's why MOPAR listings for sale are higher than if it were Ford or GM. If I now need one I go with the Ford ones and save a bunch of $$$$'s...But, you should be fine with the Delco parts
