We had a thread the other day re. fuel pumps for a V8 hotrod/track car...well coincidentally after my last track event, it looks like the Holley Red pump in my car died. (I rolled the car into the garage and didn't touch it until yesterday when I noticed the dead pump). It was quite new, with only about 3-4 events on it, so my confidence in this type of pump is greatly in doubt at this point.
I have a spare that I'll toss in next weekend, but am looking for recommendations on -reliable- low-pressure (carb) pumps that are AN-6 fitting compatible (adapters not a problem if needed, but stock-type push-on fittings are not what I'm looking for). I'll flip thru my Pegaus, Summit and Jegs catalogs but any BTDT advice beats a random crapshoot... Thx, |

I haven't taken it apart yet. Will check the pump and the filters (there are 2) and report back next weekend. I know a LOT of guys run these pumps so I would be very surprised if it just randomly failed, too. Then again, I also see quite a few race cars with redundant dual-pump setups, and I figure they didn't do the extra work just for fun...
I previously (last year IIRC) had electrical issues with the pump but I rewired it properly and verified that it does have power now, but isn't running. |
