Check out some other threads on here about atracing ,aka sydney speed supplies. You could probably get a new mellings hv pump from vpw for not much more than that.

I run a mellongs oil pump in my sbc and no probs here. I paid $45.00 cheap and reliable.

i also run mellings high volume on my sbc might cost you an extra 10 or so dollars but it will save you hundreds in broken parts if you go for anything from atracing aka sydney speed supplies.

Most of atracing or Sydney speed supplier's gear is Chinese junk, and there is a reason people say not to buy anything off them.

you will spend more in towing costs then it would cost to buy a better quality part. i learnt the hard way.

Mellings brand would be a better choice for around the same money.

atracing and sss are a pack of no good rotten mongrel barstards. they don't come good with warranty and when you ring them they put you on hold for hrs and try and pass the blame onto some one else. i don't know of one bloody thing that has ever come from the no good robbing wogs.
like uc said towing costs is all you will d spend your money on. i'd suggest that if any one was to buy a thing off them they should seriously look into buying a tow truck or a car trailer
