Do NOT buy Holley mechanical pumps.

What used to be something that ran for thousands of miles now became the least reliable part on my car. Three of them within 6 months.

First one only lasted two weeks.

When I called Summit, I was surprised to hear they were back ordered at least a month or two. That was about year and a half ago.

I got to thinking what the chances were everyone and their brother was building and FE motor and needed a Holley pump.

Answer was very clear to me. Looking at the quality of fit and finish and how the two pumps basically disintegrated, I assume they are built in China or Taiwan or some place like that.

I could have gone to a junk yard and picked one up out of a car or truck with 100,000 miles on it, and it probably would have lasted longer.

The backorder at Summit could have been due to people like me calling and asking for a replacement. I don't remember Summit being backordered for months on ANYTHING.

Go with Carter. No problems at all..
