Thumbs down Dead Holley Red Fuel Pump, Only 158 Miles

Anybody familiar with the failure modes of this fuel pump? I literally have only 158 miles on the car. Last time I shut it down on Sunday, all was well (as far as I knew, anyway). Went to start her up today, and silence. Oh, the motor ran until the fuel bowel went dry, but the fuel pump failed to make its normal racket from the beginning. No fuel pressure either.

I jacked her up and jumped the red (power, I assume) lead directly to the battery. Nada, nothing, nichts, ingot, yada yada... Clearly the motor is not turning, any chance it is jammed with crud? I believe that there is a strainer built in to keep the worst of the crud out, but I'm not positive. I know these can be opened up, and I'll probably take a look for curiosity's sake, but is there a chance that the motor is fried? Or is that unusual.

My question is, should I just give up hope and go buy a new one, or is it likely that this one will be useable?

Any insight would be much appreciated.
