I replaced a faulty one with a Comp Cams PN 4626 about 3000 miles ago.  So far so good.  I never had to replace the original one.  The one I replaced was after a rebuild.  I do not know if there are specific brands that are better or worse.

Thank you.

Changed the fuel pump push rod, problem solved.

How much was your fuel pump pushrod worn down? I've been having a similar issue with what seems like weak fuel pressure causing a weak pressurization of the fuel system until I get it running, and then its OK, for BOTH my Daytona and my 1970 Charger 500. I just pulled the fuel pump pushrod out, and it measured at 3.06", and I see that it should be 3.22".  That is quite a measurable, visible shortage, but is that enough wear to cause THAT much of a problem? I hope so- easy and cheap fix!

Also, what brand of fuel pump pushrod are people using with success?

Mine was worn down .25". I bought the one that Mancini has on their site. It also came with a new threaded plug for the rod hole in the block.
Coincidentally, today, I started my car after it has been sitting for two and a half weeks. After not too long of turning over it fired right up. Happy to have that issue behind me.
