Ok who's reliable for fuel pump restoration. I have 2 40727s and 1 40470 I want to get done.

He's the only one I trust. He a little back logged at the moment. Any chance I could trouble you for the date codes on all your pumps? Thank you, Joe

Of all the referrals and reaching out directly, I've never seen an actual photo of his " restoration" . Would you have any? prior to the $305.00 pre-paid check being sent out. Thanks,

I had Fred do mine back in Spring of 2021 and no issues since.

Fred has done four pumps for me, all for Survivor cars, so no plating or cleaning. He makes one small incision on the inboard side of the top housing and peels it back for internal service. When mounted, this cut is not detectable. His word is good.

Goathill kept my money. Never got a pump. When I talk to him previously he says he doesn't have a core to build but he had no problem cashing my check. I had to write it off as a bad experiance. You're lucky you even got one even being restored wrong. Somebody else is needing to step up to the plate. Fred isn't a spring chicken. Wonderful work....Joe

Here is a Survivor rebuild of my fuel pump from a 1300 mile 1971 LT1 Corvette.

Good luck! At least you got them back. He cashed my check and never sent the pump he promised me. All he has is excuses! I would never recommend Goat Hill Classics. Never had a vendor ever rip me off except that piece of work.
