When selecting the pump, check out how the pump pumps. The first pump I bought was a Holly. It had a rubber diaphram and a solenoid that activated it. The contacts that actuated the solenoid burnt out in no time. Then went with a Carter pump that has an electric motor (rotating) that drives a pump. No contacts to burn out. It is a bid noisy, but once the engine is running you can't hear it anyway. Has been running for several years now, no problems.
