Blew our minds that the pump was originally mounted so much higher than the fuel tank instead of nice and low and flooded. I bet the vp44's wouldn't fail if they had better lift pump placement.

VP-44 are good injection pumps as long as you keep a minimum of 10 psi fuel pressure to them. The new low lube fuel does not help but thats life. The bypass valve opens at 14 psi, so keeping about 18 psi fuel pressure makes sure that you will have a good supply of fuel going through the VP keeping it cool and happy.
I have run out one time... bad pickup.
