Default What fuel pump to purchase?

Check my signature for engine specs. I have not looked at my current fuel pump but I know it going bad so what type should I get and how many lph or gph should I get?

I assume your car in the sig is the one you are making reference too right?? and it's carbed right?? if so..are you still using a mechanical pump bolted to the timing cover?? if so you can get a holley one that puts out max 6 to 7 psi and if you really want something that is not rpm dependent..then go electric..I got the holley blue with and external regulator...and it puts out 14-15 psi AND I have it adjusted to 5.5 psi and I run NOS.....pump is a little noisy but works great

Mallory Comp 140 pump with regulator is a great pump if you want to go electric. It is a gerotor design like an oil pump. Very smooth and reliable. Quieter too.
If you're gonna stay mechanical. a Edelbrock or Holley pump will work good too.

and it's carbed right? YES its a 650 Thunder carb

I found out that I have a electric pump on right now. It was purchased in 1999 from summit for $75.00 and they no longer carry it.

just replace it with one of similar nature holley sells a red that is regulated to 7 psi max or the blue with an external regulator...either would be a good choice or look aroung for other ones of similar nature

no just make sure you adjust the regulator down to 5-6 psi max.....you'll need a gauge installed on the regulator..that's what I did..and you may have to purchase a few ****** ends to screw into the inlet and outlet port on the pump..as I don't think the pump comes with all that...but I may be wrong..I bought mine over 4 years ago so I don't remember...and don't be suprised..the holley blue is a little noisy..but then again so was my car!!! lol
