I've installed the heavy single piece eccentric. And yes, there is no guarantee. With the fuel pump OR the cell phone!!

Sorry your country cruise turned into a PITA! That's why my cell phone is always stuck to my person unless it's stuck to the charger. So, did you determine the fuel pump is bad or just a bad connection or something?

Looking to the brighter side, at least you got to take your car for a cruise even though it was intermittent. I look forward to that day with mine!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

No. No aversion to "A".. I was just remembering how crap turns to s_ _t!

I've never gotten into the habit of carrying the phone. I leave it behind all the time, even workdays which is bad 'cause it's their phone!

I'n not going to go seek what the pump problem is as the whole deal comes apart over this winter. But, it seems to be "lazy".. it runs for a bit then stops. So, I'm glad I didn't need a roll back or wrecker but I hate it that I got stuck, even for a bit!

Yes, there is a direct correlation between the two and I just couldn't resist the temptation to give you a little bit of both!!!

Yes, it definitely sucks when your shiny new rod gets stuck along side the road.....even if it's a country road where nobody sees it!!! Glad you made it back safely.

Was your "lazy Holley" a new one? does it have a filter? could it be clogged up or is the fuel actually running intermittently? Even if you're going to toss it, I'm just curious why it quit. Enquiring minds wanna know.....but it's not the end of the world if we don't find out....

HMmmm... you and I always have trouble with that same temptation! HAH!

No filter in front. Yes, new.. (relatively speaking) no real time on it. I also run 3 port regulators so I can control fuel feed pressure and the remainder of the fuel returns to the tank. I keep line pressure at 4 psi so I can't say it's been overworked and actual runtime can't be but 15 : 20 hours total. Somewhere over the winter it'll come apart and we'll try and diagnose what happened.
