Holley Red Pump?

How durable are they, and what does one usually run?

My truck has a lope at idle. Im thinking the lift pump is weak or air. But i cant figure out where it is coming from.

I saw a Holley Red down at the local Advance Auto a while back.

The price was close to 100 dollars, give or take a few.


After a check of the online price it looks like they are over 150 dollars now.

The holley pumps run a sealed motor, and are bad for the shaft seal going bad and letting fuel into the motor, frying it. The Carter pumps run a wet, permanent magnet motor, and have no such issues. They pretty much seem to last forever.

Holly red pump for 9 years no problems. Only 22k miles though so ask me again when I have 100k on it in 2036.

I've been running a blue on my drag bug for years never had an issue. You do have to mount them correctly with the motor vertical over the pump housing. I could only see a problem if it's mounted upside down.
