electric fuel pump

[Yatzee]

It has come to my attention that Holley just purchased MSD who previously purchased Mallory. Should make your choice rather interesting.

Kelly,
To check the length of the pump push rod you remove the fuel pump and the hex plug in the block just below the pump mounting surface. Hopefully the rod will slide out the plug hole. If not, you can use needle nose pliers or a strong magnet to extract it. The length should be 3.220" or very close. The pressure and volumn checks are easy to find on Google or in a service manual. Good luck.

My cheap Carter mechanical died recently and I had to run the pusher Holley electric for a while. I really hate that thing but at least I could drive around. I just replaced the dead carter with a quick fuel 110 gph. I love this pump! It internally bypasses so you dont need a regulator or return, runs like a champ at high rpm. Highly recommended.

For a fuel pump I have an Aeromotive Stealth 340..... But I do have a Quick Fuel Race Q-850 carburetor. QF is committed to quality.

Kelly,
If you check out 74Beeper's engine you'll see that he has totally different requirements than most of our street cars. Not saying you can't or shouldn't put in a 'whoopde do' fuel system; what I'm saying is I would do a good diagnosis and if indeed the mechanical pump is bad and the pump push rod is within specs, I'd just buy a Carter 'street' mechanical pump from Mancini's and be done with it. Fuel pumps do a job; they aren't power 'adders'...

I love my whoopde do....... It's one of my more favorite mods i've done. Nothing better than always having fresh cool fuel on demand, especially with this boil happy vegetable juice we have today.......
