Gonna install a new electric fuel pump when I install the new carb next week- Any suggestions on a really good electric fuel pump? How many GPH's is sufficient in your opinion? thanks everyone for your help. :coolgleamA: :2thumbs:

Why the switch to electric ? A good HV mechanical pump will supply enough fuel to feed 600hp.  ;)

If i had to go with an Electric pump it would be a Mallory unit. They are by far the quietest and most reliable pumps on the market.  :2thumbs:

For yours (if going electric) i would use the 110gph pump. No external regulator required (self regulated at 7 psi)....plumb it, wire it and off you go.  :yesnod:

Matt, i've had good luck with the Carter HV street pumps....rated at 120 gph & 6-8 psi (no regulator needed). I bet over the years i've ran at least half a dozen of these w/o a problem, ever. Knock on wood.  :icon_smile_big:

Also, i assume my fuel line is 3/8" correct? Would it make any difference going to 1/2" or is that overkill?

3/8 fuel line should be plenty for a mild street build unless your going big HP the 1/2 is overkill.

that's what I was thinking. at what HP level should one move to 1/2"?

I just made an offer on this motor, too bad it just sold :(
