Depends on what you can find. In the $500 range its more about finding the car in the best mechanical condition than finding a specific car.
OEM is generally good quality. I would expect the OEM ones to last as long as the ones that came with the car. Personally, I have Monroe shocks on my truck and I don’t mind them at all.

Sounds like a problem with the switch from the way you describe it working correctly after you jiggle the switch. You should be able to get something like that from a junkyard pretty easily.

I would disconnect the ignition system so it wont fire and turn it over for a bit (a minute or so, not constantly). You could take the sparkplugs out too so it puts less strain on the starter. Basically what you are doing is circulating the oil through the motor so that everything is lubricated when you start your car. Use this as a time to check the spark plugs, wires, air filter, and fluids. I would check the tire pressure too. Other than that, you should be good to go!

I would think the studs would line up ok. Personally, I would cut that end piece out of a junker and weld it into the existing pipe, unless it is easy to remove that entire pipe. If the studs dont line up, you could always straiten it or modify the pipe.

At least it stays running now. You could almost use this as a grace period to save up money for the pump, because chances are that is the cause.

People can vote your Karma up and down. Basically its a rating of what people think of you and your advice. Like if you told me that running my motor without oil was a good idea, and I did it, I would probably vote your karma down.
