Fuel Pump?

Elvis · 03-21-2007, 08:41 PM

Well, I think you might have a good idea. I just spent the last two hours trying to wrestle the old line out from under the car and ended up cutting it to get it out. There is no way I could get a one-piece rigid line in there! I forgot that I added dual exhaust, headers, etc in the last 10 years. For RWhite - are you going to use rubber fuel line, steel braided or what? I need to get mine going by the weekend so any help would be appreciated. E.

Elvis-

I am not sure what it is made out of. The stuff that I am gonna use my buddy put on his street/strip car, has a braided outside to it.

I am sure Rev will tell ya what he used.

I like the Carter elec fuel pumps. #4070 in particular. Its low pressure with high volume. 4psi or so. No regulator or return with it.

Ive found edelbrock carbs like to drown with about 7psi.

The holley red pump is good but it needs a regulator. A friend has one killing his edelbrock carb. It's giving 11psi without a regulator. Too much for a carb.

My Edelbrock fuel pump is listed at 6 psi and it seems to be doing fine. It is a good match for my Edelbrock carb. I am quite satisfied with the improvement. Now, much to the chagrin of my lady, the C-4transmission must be rebuilt and beefed up. Ah, boys and their toys! E.
