Electric Fuel Pump for Carb

[64drtGt]

I am looking for an affordable electric pump that will work with a carbed engine. Someone in chat last night said a mr gasket one but I was looking and they have shitty reviews so I wanted some more input from everyone.

I had one from summit. It was like 70-80 bucks and is basically a re-branded holley red pump. It worked well, but was kind of loud.

I used Carter street one, 72 gph you dont need a regulator. Not as loud holleys

i have used holleys, malleries and have heard good thing about the carters. the holley blue has worked the best for me and it has been run through water mud and rocks in my bronco first then the jeep

The cheaper ones will be either loud, unreliable, or both. Save your money and get a good one. Why would you want a cheap fuel pump? So you can break down in the middle of nowhere? Most any of the name brand gerotor style will be reliable and much less noisy. Trust me on this. You will regret cheaping out.

I run a Mallory and a return-type regulator. It's far quieter than the vane pumps, such as the Holleys. It has no problems keeping up with my combo.

I run a Holley 150 gerotor style. Have not heard or seen how it performs yet, but I used everyone's advice on here and went right the first time. I run a regulator, but no return as the pump is a bypass style pump. I am a pictures guy so here are some of my setup.

Carter "vibrator" sounds a little like a snare drum with no load then slows down to nothing but a tick every few seconds. They are an old design, like a fat airtex. Holley gerotor style is loud and I had 3 used ones and they all leaked. If its for a 318 truck, those gerotor are are overkill.

Smartken22, if you mount that Holley on rubber stand-offs (rubber pucks with 2 isolated studs on each side) you can further isolate the pump noise if it comes to that. The braided line will also dampen the pump noise.

Yeah its for a 318 magnum in a truck with a whiplash based cam and 4bbl. My friend was telling me he ran a mazda b2200 fuel pump on one of his cars I might give that a cheap try snag one at pull apart for 10 bucks if it works well I will run it or buy a replacement new one if it don't ill go with an actual non factory pump lol.

My Carter is loud on startup, but quiets down to silent within a minute.

I use that for my efi. Its deathly quiet. All you need to make it work is a regulator meant for use with an efi pump. Aeromotive makes one for like 150 bucks.

That is a good idea, Thanks!
