Carter vs. Holley electric fuel pump?

[70sixpkrt]

I need to get an electric fuel pump for a "boost" on start up. When the car sits for a while it is hard to start because the carbs. bleed down. Which one is quieter and better? The Carter 4594 or the Holley red pump? This is going on a sixpack if that makes a difference.

Ricky....go with the Mallory 110. It is the quietest pump out there !

Does the 110 require a bypass/return style regulator?

Nope...it's self regulated, just bolt on & go

Hey Ron, what about a constant-use pump to feed a 500 horse engine?  Something that isn't super loud.

Can't you just put a check valve in the fuel line?

The Mallory 110 would work fine in that application but my preference is allways towards a mechanical pump if possible. I've had great results with the Carter HV mechanical street pump ; 120gph and self regulated at 6psi. It'll move enough fuel for 600hp.

Ron,

Can you plumb the electric (mallory 110 ) in series with my engine driven carter hv pump. I dont want to run or listen to the boost pump run all the time. Just for take off and landing...Sorry ,wrong vehical...Want to use the electric pump for priming the carb and as a booster on occasional track days.

Anyone have a Mallory or Holley electric fuel pump for sale?

I've never done it but know some that have...sucessfully. The mechanical pump will work fine with the electric turned off. But i have to say that there's no need for an electric with the Carter HV. Mine runs great with the Carter street pump.

Thanks Ron. I agree the carter mechanic pump delivers enough fuel. Just annoying cranking the engine until the carb gets refilled after sitting for a few days and the gas has evaporated.
