Fuel pump

[Enf0rc3r570]

Hello everyone. Just ordered this to use until I can get an oem one. It looks correct. Any input?

Them things are hit or miss. I have seen them last a week and I have seen some last a couple years.

What I'm currently using & how I fitted it. I'd recommend disassembly & cleaning at the very least as there was some fine swarf inside mine.

I hear yah CaptainKyle. I bought one & it didn't last that long left me sit on the side of the road. I guess if you want to get one to get back on the road & try to find a deal on an OEM one it's OK.

A 4 psi fuel pump from AC-Delco, cheap-enough.

Lists at $134 from Summit Racing. The psi is correct for carbureted applications, and the form looks like it should fit easily. You want to have it securely fastened, so that might take a bit of planning to bolt it in-place.

I used one of those at a fraction of the OE cost pumps till it failed long after my planned return of the oe pump. Infact it lasted so long, I gave up on the oe just for its cost and have run aftermarket ever since.
Dang thing is so cheap you cant beat it.
I have even swapped out the pump assy. off the cheap one and vice-versa to keep running.
I think the only real difference is the in and out tubes are clocked a little different than the $240,000 OE pump. Run it! itll be fine.
