Hi. These are on sale here through the Lordco trade show and was thinking about buying one. Anybody have any input on them good or bad? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PRW-1445500-High...S-/380526071479

Hey Neill, do you know if Lorco is selling 8 bolt PRW pumps as well?

I've had no dealings with their pumps but have PRW rockers and flywheel. No issues with the rockers but I had to surface the flywheel right out of the box. It was scratched due to poor packaging.

The 1445500 is the only one listed, $86.99, most suppliers don't list Pontiac stuff but if you corner them at their booth they'll usually give you a good price on whatever they can. I picked up a set of their stamped steel roller tip 1.65 rockers for $125. I think I'll just order the pump, mine is starting to drip.
Are you happy with your flywheel? I've replaced two clutches in two years and this one is chattering a lot with 400 miles on it so next time it will get a new flywheel as well Neill

Flywheel seems fine, I just wasn't impressed having to resurface it out of the box, it was drilled for 10-5/8" and 11" clutch. I'm using an 11" Centerforce Dual Friction clutch with it. Not many miles on since I installed it, as I was down for a while with the rear seal problem, maybe 1500.
Did you check your bellhousing register/crank run-out?
Did you check for flywheel run-out?
