All the fuel pumps i see on ebay look identical and they all have different labels on them. is there really a difference? if i can get a deal on a BBK should i get a BBK, does it matter?

I don't know 100% but i think it is just like anything else, brand preference. I bought a Walbro 190lph because i got a good deal on it. I don't know how true it is but someone told me that walbro's are rebuilt and sold... But i don't know.

BBK's that i have seen say Walbro on the side. the same is true for other brands (they repackage the Walbro pump). Walbro is good stuff, IMHO (oem supplier).

if you can get a deal on the BBK, it is probably really a walbro.

I can confirm that. I have a BBK and it says Walbro. Best price, OEM equip.
Get the 255 if you plan on alot of mods later, I got the 155 and wish I had gone bigger. Stock is like 80.

Always keep 1/4 tank or more in your tank and your pump will last a very long time. The fuel keeps it cool, so you dont want to run them empty.

The Holley is a walbro too. Just packaging is the difference. Maybe some extra wires or so...
