[DeTomaso] 351C mechanical fuel pump recommendations?

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

Okay, so after my Holley mechanical fuel pump bit the dust, I got to hear all 
sorts of other people telling me about how THEIR Holley fuel pumps similarly 
died.   I'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations for suitable 
substitutes?   I'm now running a simple AC Delco unit that has several 'features' 
including undesireable fittings for the hoses (which won't let me run my braided 
steel lines with A/N fittings), as well as a meager 3 psi output (fine for 
getting me home, but probably inadequate for proper track use).
