I'm running that, but my car is fuel injected.

If you have the 2.3 or 2.8, a stock replacement pump will be fine, just try to find a brand other than Airtex. If it has had a V8 swap, Jegs and Summit both have "house brand" pumps that are a step up from stock that won't hurt a stock engine while supporting future upgrades.

Holley Red. No matter how long it sits or how cold it is, it starts.
