Yeah, I've been thinking about one of those too. FBC, are you using one of the higher quality bronze tipped pushrods? I have read quite a bit about the cheap ones wearing down quickly. I too am concerned about the heavy spring in this pump. I guess that is to keep the rod following the fuel pump lobe at high RPM. I don't want this to turn into an annual headache because it is very hard to get to the fuel pump on my engine when it's in the boat.

I have one of those and got scared to put it in. I was thinking if the end would mushroom out I might not ever get it out with the engine in the boat. The ones I am using now are comp cams #4607.

I had a buddy run one of those comp cams brass tipped ones with a flat tappet cam. He mushroomed it after a couple hours run time and couldn't get it out. So he installed an electric pump. :-(

I have the Comp part to use in this engine. I've used them in other builds without a failure. Perhaps something else caused it to go south? Why use a brass-tipped pushrod with a flat tappet iron cam?

Good Thread! Been wondering what to use here? I like the Specs on that Baker Pump! I havnt used Mechanical pumps in 25 years! Want to put the BEST one in right from the start! I might be wrong....doesn't "CrashCar" have to run Mechanical pumps? If so...what are they using? Baker puts out some NICE stuff...do they offer a pushrod?

Comp said they work with either cam. Obviously not!

What about the GM Performance one for use with their steel billet roller cams.
