What ever you do in reference to the Fuel Pump. Stay away from the Holley Blue Pump!!!

It's so load thatyou can hear it a block away from your house.

I plan on changing mine out to a AirTex (sold by CarQuest) $46.00us this weekend. It will deliver up to 14psi so you will need a Fuel Reg to lower it down to whatever carb or EFI needs.

i.e. 4lbs stock and 6-8 Holley-Weber. The plus side to this pump is that it can be mounted Horri versus Vert. Makes for easy install.

my holley blue doesnt sound that bad. my friends on the other hand. it all depends on how well you insulated. the facet(2) pumps are actually what racing beat recommended for their delllorto set up.

Good Morning;

The CarQuest (airtex Fuel Pump #) is E8012S. The other thing cool about this pump is

that it comes with a Add'l filter and all the connectors and bracket.

Make sure you have or get a Pressure Regulater.
