Reply to "Mechanical fuel pump recommendation needed"

That's timely feedback Art, & appreciated.

That's damn crappy of them to ship you a used pump.I'm sorry to read that. I'm curious, did you contact Allstar when the pump arrived & complain about the condition? If so, what was their response?

Here's the rundown on mechanical fuel pumps, to my knowledge:

If you know of an independent parts supplier, he may be able to find you a pump made by Standard Auto Parts. If so, it will be of equivalent quality as the oem pump.

Carter manufactured the oem pump, it will be reliable if you can find one. I've seen them on ebay.

Ford "may" supply the oem pump. Or they may sell a pump manufactured off shore.

Next step up in flow capacity are the pumps from Holley, Mr Gasket, Mallory. They appear to be the same pump. People have had problems with these pumps failing. I have an older Holley pump in the garage that has "made in the USA" cast into it. I wonder if the newer ones are made elsewhere?

Art has shared a bad experience with his All Star Performance pump, kinda casts a dark clowd over that plan, eh?

Finally, there's the RobbMc Performance pump. Good stuff, but pricey. They are selling them on ebay, by the way.

You know what I recommend, right?
