Ultima Oil Pump - Anyone Try one?

[Th3InfamousI]

Oil pump is busted, I have another thread with more specifics but there is no saving it. Needs 3 out of 4 gears and a new Pump Body.

Ultima makes a High Output Oil Pump that should be comparable to the S&S for about 50% less. I can get the Ultima Pump for about $180 and the S&S will run me about $350. I don't see any reason for the extra price on oil pump (other than S&S is really proud of theirs) its about as basic as it gets nothing special

Anyways, asking if anyone has installed one and also which one is the right one?

I noticed they have two for Big Twins one is for 92 and Later Big Twins and the other is for 1984-1991.

Part # 98-518 is for 84-91

Part # 98-517 is for 92+

I am guessing the difference is the oil holes in the case and I would suspect the 117 needs the (98-517) 92 and later pump style?

I know John Sach's uses Ultima Motors so I imagine he has some experience with the Pumps, maybe we'll get him to chime in with his experience and confirm the correct model.

As stated before I'd buy the Ultima and live happily ever after...

Use the Ultima 92 and newer pump.

Ultima has a pretty good rep.

Oil pumps are basic. S&S at twice the price is just ridiculous for a hunk of polished aluminum and 4 gears.

For what it's worth I'd buy an ultima motor too at a significant discount to s&s
