Time to think about getting a new mechanical fuel pump for standby as mine is at least 12 years old. I know Carter still makes them but are they USA? Basically I am looking for advise from someone who has replaced theirs fairly recently and had good luck with the one they purchased.
I Normally use the Carter high flow units. There not over strong in pressure and I have not ever needed a regulator. Holley also has some high flow HP lumps that are a little more pricey and also may - may require a regulator.
These I use on my street cars. There better at keeping the carb filled with fuel under a hood pressure, even when hot. Though if you not lap at the strip, the heat gets to the pump and pressure drops. Just not as horrible as a stock pump will the pressure or volume drop.
