I have a 69 RTSE 440 and the fuel pump just doesn't seem to deliver when I really get on it.  Anyone have a brand that works best for them?

Check the length of the push rod. It might be worn.
1972 Charger Topper Special, 360ci, 46RH OD trans, 8 3/4 sure grip with 3.91 gear, 14.93@92 mph.
1973 Charger Rallye, 4 speed, muscle rat. Whatever engine right now?

Carter M6903. Used it for years on a 10.2:1 Edelbrock RPM headed 440, plenty of fuel delivery.

I would have given same information as in both above responses.  I had a similar problem.  Pump rod had worn down.  When it was out, I changed to the pump described in the post above.  It is a nice pump.

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

What should the fuel pump push rod length be?
Who sells a good quality push rod?
Is it still available from the dealer?

The producer may not matter, but for what its worth, I bought one of the comp cams pushrods and so far have not had a problem.  They list the length as 3.220"  at mancini racing.  (https://www.manciniracing.com/cocafupupu.html) you can get them from a number of places  I would shop around for a good price.

I would make sure you can get it out.  Theres a "hex" screw right underneath on the block (think its a hex maybe wrong but it opens up to let the rod fall out) , mine was seized.  A electrical pump maybe the best.  :Twocents:
