Planning to go back to an electric fuel pump this season over the Holley mechanical pump I've been running.
I ran a few red and blue holley pumps years ago that eventually failed me then tried an essex pump sold by edelbrock. That thing didnt last too long and they are not rebuildable.
My question is who makes a good reliable electric fuel pump for continuous use?
This is for my strret driven 468 442 that might see the track 5-6 times this year. I do beat the tar out of it on the street so i guess that counts for more than 5-6 trips to the track.
Right now I have a sumped gas tank and a return style regulator to use. I wil run -8 feed line and -6 return line to the tank.
I dont want a fuel cell and have been thinking of going back to an unsumped tank with a RobbMc 1/2" pickup/sending unit.
Im interested in FuelLab as far as pumps and filters. Thanks in advance for input.

No one... They all die eventually and rather quickly. If you do run one buy a spare and keep it with you.

Lots of good experience with the Mallory electrics, 110 internal regulated and 140 external regulated. Just make sure electrical is up to the task and pump is mounted correctly.
Intank might be an upgrade, but usually not an option on older cars.

I went with the Aeromotive stealth setup.
Great set up and easy to install,pump is in the tank so you don't have to worry about where to mount the pump.
-an8 feed and return line

I second Aeromotive stealth tank.
No issues, plenty of fuel.

I understand the Holley gerotor type pumps work well and are quiet. I haven't had personal exp. with them though.

I'm running a Holley 125, has an internal pressure regulator. My pressure gauge next to the carb is at 7 PSI, no problems for years but I don't drive the car everyday either. Highly modified 455 on 93 octane

I s everyone running 3/8 or -6 line? Thats what I have now. I as thinking of going to -8 for feed and using my -6 for the return.

I have a friend who has run a Holley gerotor on his 54 and has been very pleased with it. As a result I have one on my workbench that I have not put on my car yet. It is not a cheap pump. I am also adding an inline filter near the tank with a replaceable element. It looks kind of like a small cannister oil filter.

8 AN supply and return
6 AN for feed

I have had a Mallory on my Vette for a long time. I bought it as Super Shops. Its not a daily driver but i expected it to go out long ago. It still hums.

Now heres another question. Im hopeing to be running low 11s to high 10s this season. Are 3/8s or -6 lines for supply large enough? Most fuel pumps seem to only have 3/8 inlet and outlets. Then the big pumps seem to jump up to -10.
I would figure 1/2 or -8 would be sufficient with a return line from the regulator back to the tank.

I'm curious what the FAST guys use or hide to use.

I run an Aeromotive a2000 pump that has an internal regulator with a #8 return line then I run #10 line to the front bypass regulator and #10 return have run this pump sense 2007 and switched to E85 in 2008 have had no issues with any of my fuel system car is drag race only runs mid to high tens in the quarter. If you were going to run on street then you might consider adding a fuel pump speed controller such as the aeromotive http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-pa...ed-controller/.
