Go with a Airdog or FASS... Do it right the first time!

That Holley pump is design just like the ol' stock Carters...

Side Note: The link going to Ebay has a Intrusion by Ebay. It was using Adobe to try and access my computer!

Ok, thanks for the input. I am going to use a cheapo for now, my stock pump quit. I only use it every other weekend right now, so hopefully I can save enough money to buy a FASS shortly.

I would like to interject a side note about holley black pumps. I currently have 2 of them in series, with the little brass screens removed (thick fuel you know) and they are running fine after a year and a half of almost constant use. I put about 40K miles a year on my rig. I have a solid 12 psi to the injection pump and have completely eliminated the stock lift pump from the fuel filter cannister and replaced it with an adapter plate I made from stainless. I have a pdf detailing my work and I assure you, they are cheap, easy to come by at your local Kragen or Chief and on the road, I have one spare blue in my tool box just in case I tear both of them off on something under me.
I like the idea of having them "in the wind" so they're easy to change out if I should get stuck for reason. Have you thought of how hard it'll be to change your pump int eh 'field'?
Just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

it wont be that hard for me, i still have a working factory lift pump still mounted, all id have to is hook the fuel line back up to the factory draw straw and rehook the wires up, i ran holley blues several times and after burning through one after the other on my 98, i wasnot going to mess with them on my 99, so i went fass, 145k later no problems or drop in pressure

Its Easly Understandable that $500 is alot to come up with all of a sudden , it was for me thats why i kept throwing junk $65 parts at it well each time one of the $65 pumps went out it took a little bit of the life bar down on the VP44 , with the last pump 1 15psi Cater and 1 9 Psi Carter ran in series , It was a Flawless Victory in killing my VP44 , $1200 later here i am with a new VP44 and no Fuel Pump , Like shooting both feet at once , Now i have an Air Dog and i wish for you sake and most of the others that there was a Less than $100 fix but there just isnt
