I INSTALLED IT ON AN 85 CHEVY SWB WITH A NEWLY REBUILT V-6 AND A HOLLEY 2 BARREL CARBURETOR. THEIR LISTING STATED , "WHEN YOU RECEIVE PUMP PRESSURE IS PRESET AT 7PSI, DESIGNED FOR STREET OR STRIP APPLICATIONS, NOT FOR USE WITH INJECTION SYSTEMS. WITH THIS PUMP NO NEED FOR A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. COMES WITH FITTINGS." FIRST OF ALL, IT DIDN'T COME WITH FITTINGS. I CALLED THEM AND THE FITTINGS ARRIVED ABOUT A WEEK LATER. AFTER CAREFULLY INSTALLING THE FUEL PUMP I TRIED TO START UP MY CHEVY FOR THE FIRST TIM. IT FAILED TO START. I FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT ALL 6 CYLINDERS AND THE OIL PAN WERE FULL OF GASOLINE...THE CYLINDER WALLS HAD BECOME "FUEL WASHED", THUS CAUSING MY NEWLY REBUILT ENGINE TO LOSE ALL THE COMPRESSION IN ALL 6 CYLINDERS.I THEN INSTALLED A FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE IN THE FUEL LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT KMJ PERFORMANCE'S PRO-COMP ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP WAS PUMPING 14 PSI., VOT THE 7 PSI AS STATED IN THEIR E-BAY LISTING. I THEN HAD TO REMOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR, HEATER HOSES, CARBURETOR, INTAKE MANIFOLD, EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, BOTH HEADS, AND THE OIL PAN, RE-LUBE THE CYLINDER WALLS AND PISTON RINGS AND REINSTALL ALL PARTS AND FLUIDS. I THEN INSTALLED A HOLLEY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. TIME TO TRY AGAIN. THE MOTOR FIRED UP WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. NOW I'M THINKING MY NIGHTMARE IS ABOUT OVER AFTER 6 MONTH'S, OVER 100 HOURS OF LABOR AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN ADDED EXPENSES, FINALLY!
THE ENGINE ONLY RUNS ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND DIES. THE FUEL PUMP HAS STOPPED WORKING. I CHECK THE INLINE FUSE, IT IS BLOWN. I REPLACE THE FUSE, IT BLOWS. I TAKE THE FUEL PUMP OFF TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND FIND OUT UPON DISASSEMBLY THAT THE PIECE OF JUNK IS COMPLETELY SHOT. THE COMPLETE INSIDES OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE IN PIECES AND THE LITTLE ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS BURNT. i MADE CERTAIN IT WAS WIRED CORRECTLY ACCORDING TO THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS OF THE "RED HOLLEY FUEL PUMP 12-801-1" ON THE HOLLEY WEBSITE. AFTER ALL, KMJ PERFORMANCE TOLD IN ONE OF MY MANY PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM THAT THEIR PRO-COMP FUEL PUMP WAS BASICALLY A COPY OF THE HOLLEY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PRO-COMP STICKER ON THE BOX AND THE PACKAGING. EVERY TIME I CALLED SOMEONE WOULD TELL ME TO HOLD AND THEN TRANSFER ME TO THEIR WARRANTY DEPARTMENT WHERE I WOULD GET A VOICE MAIL, STATING "JOE-BLOW IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF THE OFFICE" AND FOR ME TO LEAVE MY PHONE NUMBER AND A BRIEF MESSAGE AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME VERY SHORTLY. SO FAR NO ONE HAS EVER CONTACTED ME BY PHONE OR ANSWERED MY E-MAILS. SO BEWARE E-BAY SHOPPERS, THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS!!
