What Fuel Pump

Postby AZRick » Tue Aug 09, 2011 1:26 pm

What fuel pump do most of you guys use? I've got both an electric and a mechanical but have only run these motors on electric. Not sure if the mechanical will keep up.

If you really want an install that works great, use a TBI EFI pump, and a Holley 12-803BP (bypass style) regulator. You WILL have to run a return line, but once you do, you'll never have to worry about vapor lock again, :wink: 8) :th:

This is a carb motor, but is turbocharged. Just used to running an electric pump. Looking at options for fuel

I run the same combo I'm talking about in my 93 S10 with a carbed 363 ci small block, it was an easy choice because it's the stock pump in that truck. I just added the bypass regulator and fed it back into the stock return line when I did the swap from the 4.3. 8)
