Maurice, Ya no kidding. I guess it just goes with getting the buggs (maybe litteraly) out of a new car.

Blittleton, Thanks for the offer. I'd take you up on it if I didn't have a pressing issue (car going for alignment tomorrow AM). Fortunately, there is a local Kragens with a speedshop that just happens to have a replacement in stock. I'll pick it up on my way home tonight.

Jerry, Yes, the pump is located below the tank, and siphons from the low point. I suspect it sucked in some crud from the tank, as there is no filter between the pump and tank. After I replace the pump with a new one, I'll disassemble, clean, and bench test it to see if I can save it for a backup.

I spoke with Holley this am. Their tech guy didn't have much to say. Made no offer to replace it, and said that if the motor is burned, there is no way to repair it. The only option is to pull off the bottom plate and try to clean out any crud. Of course, if there is crud, Holley certainly isn't at fault, and shouldn't feel obligated to replace the part. I'll let everybody know what I find after I've replaced everything.

And yes, it is loud, but once the motor is running, I can't hear it over the sidepipes. Probably why I didn't notice when it went dead in the first place.
