You said you were able to nurse the car home...I assume there was some flow of gas?

Have you taken off the plate on the bottom? There is a filter screen that can get plugged up if some garbage gets into the fuel. You can carefully slip it out and clean it without tearing it up.

The pump impeller vanes are replaceable...also there is a pressure relief valve that perhaps is stuck open. Pretty sure Holley sells a basic rebuild kit that includes new impeller vanes.

When you take it apart, proceed slowly and the gasket is reusable...also you will see it gets imprinted with the fuel passages, so it should go back on the same way it came off.

They maybe noisy, but fixing the electric one that is already installed is probably easier than plumbing in a new mechanical pump.

If the electric motor is dead or groaning and turning slowly (worn out brushes?) probably out of luck.
