Holley Junk

[SwiftDB4]

Had 2 Holley 12-125 gerotor fuel pumps fail within a year. When the shaft seals fail they leak large amounts of fuel out the weephole for a nice fire hazard. Also had a Holley red pump fail electrically on another vehicle after 4 months. Unfortunately Holley only has a 3 month warranty on its fuel pumps now and just doesn't care when contacted. Chinese junk. Bought a Carter fuel pump ( U.S. made and 1 year warranty).

That's sad to see. My Red just failed at the 20-year mark. Continuous use too.

Must be an American made one before they started selling Chinese junk.

"F**k China" is all I have to say about quality of car parts nowadays.

A couple weeks ago I notized my starter motor is about to go bad, I bought a used one off of a 1970s engine that seemed to be in acceptable condition and I'm rebuilding this one with new bearings and brushes at the moment.

Several years ago I bought a brand new mini starter, it was dead on arrival. Turned out it was made in China of course. Lesson learned...

I bought a Summit brand electric fuel pump. Looks just like the Holley but made in the USA.
