Yep, old style. The "funny" thing for me in all this is that I've run this same setup a few times before and never had an issue. Then I get on here and a bunch of folks tell me no way would they run an electric due to the failure rate which shocked me!

Then I go for a simple cruise on one of the last warm days and get stranded by the electric fuel pump.. sheesh!
See what happened??? People got you concerned about the pump and jinxed it!!!! I suppose Holley, like so many other companies, has found a way to cheapen up the build cost on their old style pumps in order to keep the price low.... I'd like to try a belt driven pump (like a Hilborn or K&N), only drawback being you'd have to run an electric pump for start up, then switch over to the belt driven pump....???
