Yeah, I had the original pump on my L79 in the Chevelle rebuilt since no aftermarket pump would ever keep the Holley happy properly.

Nothing I drive gets ethanol. Luckily I live in a rural area where gas stations make a point to sell 100% gas at most places since there are still farm equipment and trucks around that don't want ethanol in them.

But geez parts manufacturers, just make a stock replacement pump that puts out the correct 5.5 psi for a carbureted small block. QJs are the most common carburetor on the planet yet they can't make a pump any more (that isn't a specialty pump) that will work properly with a QJ?
