Mechanical fuel pump

[77rod]

Hey guys,

I am in need of new mechanical fuel pump for my 383 big block in my 77 aspen. Any thoughts on a specific brand/model?
My motor is a mildly built street motor, nothing too crazy. The pump that failed is a spectra brand that has maybe 400 miles at most on it...lol.
Currently I am looking at a carter from summit racing. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-m4862

Thanks in advance for the help on this!

I'd ask @Aspen500 because he has a big block car, and has excellent mechanical advice

Ouch. Id be trying the regular priced carter before paying that much.

Factory style 5/16" in/out is all you need.

Honestly many of the newer made standard replacement pumps are crap. Most made in china india etc. I have not had good luck with them. The summit pump is pricey but much more reliable. I have used the holley pumps with good luck also.
