I like the Holley performance shop pumps.

I didn't mention Holley because the last one I bought for a 454 was a China made piece of pot metal crap. I boxed it back up and sent it back. I bought a Carter Strip Pump for less money and it was twice the quality. Heck, the box was even nicer.

JMHO

Looks identical to the Edelbrock on my Blazer.

The fitting holes are large and 180° apart just like on the one i currently run. I havent seen an Edelbrock like this. But i've only searched ebay. I want to replace my $15 Pro Comp pump over the winter before I gives me issues. They look identical.

The pump I have on the Blazer looks like this,. And it has 3/8" fitting holes.
