From what I've always been told, the peace of mind is worth every penny you put into a new pump. Not sure If a kit is available, but when mine goes there is no doubt, I'll be buying a new GM unit. :cheers:

Buy an electric one if you've got to do it. It's always nice to get a HP gain when standard parts go bad :)

I bought an aftermarket pump that looks like the original from The Last Detail and was very pleased with it, and the price......@$155 including shipping.

With an LT1, ALWAYS buy a new pump. Give a look to Meziere Electric pumps
