[DeTomaso] Cleveland Fuel Pumps

[Charles Engles]

Dear Jim and Will,


                 The generic smallish electric fuel pump *would* be an
option.

                 I very much appreciate Will's review of the Robb Mc pump.
Very encouraging.


                 Very good stuff.


                              Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

I have the Robb Mc pump.  It is very well made.

I have used Holley and Autozone pumps in the past.  The generic Autozone
pump was very light.  It felt like it was made from recycled cans. 

The Holley pump was heavier, but still felt like a red headed step child.

The Robb Mc pump is much larger, but it fits a Pantera.  The rubber
diaphragm is much thicker than the Autozone or Holley pumps.  You can adjust
the pressure at the pump.  It uses larger fittings.

Robb stands behind his parts.

The pump uses factory parts, plus parts manufactured by Robb.

I can't say enough good things about his pump.  When I unwrapped it, I was
pumped.
