    Doesn't look very good....that's one of those things you'd want a good one, so you don't get left stranded.

    I tried cheaper fuel pumps for a couple of years...tried several of them. Don't cut corners on this, lol. Take it from me! I finally gave up and bought a Holley Blue. Just my two cents! Take care! Preston

    Installed quite a few in lines like that over the years. Most had a short lifespan. I wouldnt trust it on my car.

    Is there some reason you need an electric pump? What's wrong with a simple mechanical pump?
