what fuel pump to use?
« on: May 17, 2017, 07:14:40 PM »
Im looking to replace my mechanical fuel pump. I want to stay with a mechanical pump but dont know what gph I should be looking for. Motor is a 390gt bored 30 over with rpm intake and stock exhaust manifolds.  Any help?

Edelbrock sells pumps that are rebuildable if that is a consideration.  I haven't used a mechanical pump in years, electrics are too convenient and easy to trouble shoot.

I'm using a Holley blue pump, and it is LOUD.

Why I don't use Holley plums in my door cars anymore.  I use Mallory electrics, much more quiet - even the 140 GPH race pumps.
