I don't want to change the subject here but someone brought up the Holley Blue pumps. I ran two of them back in the day on my SS car for years with no problems. When I got the Volare' it had a Holley Blue pump on it and at the first race it seized up and I put a new one on it which started leaking at the second race I went to. I replaced that one with another and it started leaking two races later. I since have replaced the Holley with an Aeromotive pump that, other than being very loud, has been flawless. I have run over 118 at "H" weight several times with it so I think it is providing plenty of fuel. I have a MagnaFuel pump waiting just in case. My point with this is that the good 'ol Holley pump "ain't what it used to be" in my opinion. Once again, just my experience and opinion! Jim
