Weldon Fuel Pumps

Has any one taken advantage of Weldons $500.00 trade in for your old fuel pump? Seems to good to be ture since new pump would have a Lifetime Waranty.

I think a new fuel pump from Weldon is over $1,000 so you will still be paying over $500 for a new pump. I think you can get a top of the line Aeromotive for about $350.

BUT would have a Lifetime Waranty and aircraft quality. Seems to me it would be good for the life of the car then some. But sure am leaning that way. I had heard through the Grapevine that FJ Smith had same pump on dyno for over 20 years.

I bought one at what I thought was a good discount but not this good of a deal.

Remember njk53 you get what you pay for.

I agree you sure do get what you pay for. I heard Weldon makes a nicely machined product. I am not placing any doubt in their quality and reliability but I would like to see the terms of their lifetime guarantee. Over $500 is a lot of money for a fuel pump.

To me it's a great way to get rid of something that's a pile of crap. Something like a Barry Grant pump. Spending another $500 to get a Weldon would be money well spent and it will keep the BG pump out of our landfills.

I'm really happy with my Aeromotive. But I may take a look at this offer. I like the warranty and from what I hear, Weldon is a quality piece. Question is is Weldon any better?

I agree with you Jeff. Is it $200 better than the Aeromotive? BTW are you going to Firebird next week?

The Weldon 600A which compares to the Aeromotive is only $325. It also has the lifetime warranty and is much quieter than the Aeromotive.

Yes they are well worth the money and there pumps will never wear out. They are made of harden tool steel and have no plastic or other components that can wear out. Call and ask for Jim Craig and he can tell you about the entire program. There is more to the program. They also pay in 2010.

Call them it will be worth your time.

Doubtful. Believe it or not, real estate is hoping again and buyers are buying. I had too many lean months to let anything slip through my fingers right now. But if my buddy Rob decides to come, I might go and help him out. Not that he needs it...
