I stopped in at this yard on Thursday to see what I might find after it came up on a couple of searches on car-parts.com:

A & A Auto and Truck Parts Inc
1831 Northeast Grantville Road, Topeka, KS 66608
gray 1988 Samurai #2E0074 (on row 7) White 1991 Samurai 2F0056 (on row Cool

They were both pretty picked over, & they weren't there a year ago.
The yard appears to pull engines & possibly fuel pumps pretty fast (most wrecks had the fuel tank removed & sitting in the interior.

The 91's efi coil was still on the firewall & the fuel tank was sitting in back. A little rust inside, didn't see the fuel pump nor its cradle. DANG, shudda turned the tank upside down so as not to collect rain. Oh, and I believe the hood was AOK (white in color).

There were also several Trackers, don't recall that many a year ago. Last year, I was looking for another GTi, turned out all they still had was the engine inside a shed, And I had to point it out to them.

This yard is a little difficult to find & the sign out front is for a different salvage yard. The gal behind the counter did admit to being A&A in some fashion.

I would NEVER deal with Lewis Salvage a couple blocks to the West, as they sold me a low mileage GTi engine which turned out to have a water pump remanufactured in 1994 and the cam sprockets were set incorrectly (don't know if interference damage occured yet, but any mechanic who puts a new timing belt on with one sprocket 180 off is to be avoided. They had shipped the engine in for me (actually, for $750) & said they'd get all the accessories = it came with all the sensor wires cut off & no accs. Live & Learn.
