Thanks for posting the part number!

 

Is it noisy?

 

Carter 4070
Very quiet..and reliable.

 

very gud pump. ive used them for 16yrs. iam on my 3rd one so far. everything wears out sooner or later. i carry a spare already plumed up in case i hav to change when iam out and about. i use mine with a elderbrock 600 @ 5 1/2 fuel pressure. works excellent on the street and its not very noisy(if your mufflers r noisy u cant hear it)..........................................

 

Yes

 

It's actually an Airtex I believe, and sells for around $80-$85. 4.5-5 lb. pressure, and 72 gph rating. Don't know if Airtex makes them for Carter, or Carter makes them for Airtex?

 

^x2^

 

how much money...........

 

I've got the Carter on my Coupe. It's pretty noisy, but still going strong for over 10 years now.

 

When using the 4070 do any of you run a fuel return line back to the tank ?

 

great info here. thanks

 

Good pump just a little noisy but I did mount direct to frame...

My Carter 4070 cost like $30 a few years ago. I put a slab of tire tread on the inside of the frame rail with bolts thru pieces of pipe for stand offs. Then mounted the bracket to the rubber. It's close to the tank and a filter just before the inlet, no return. You can't hear it once the engine starts and the exhaust is quiet. I measured it @ 6 psi with 12v, used a Holley regulator to choke it down to 4.5 lbs. to feed the Edel. 500.

 

Got mine for $15 + 3%tax in 1961 to feed a flathead. Still have them both in running order. Those sound-deadening rubber grommets need to be replaced every 20 or so years. In today's dollars, I think I paid too much back then. They coulda used better grommets. Don't you think?

i mounted mine on the frame with supplied rubber gromets near tank with filter & no return line. so far after 16yrs no problem. think i paid 80$ for it...............

 

Wow,16 years and no problems. That's great for an electric pump. I'm pretty sold on the 4070. I know the Edelbrock carbs don't like too much fuel pressure ,but what about a Rochester 4GC? Would a pressure regulator be advisable with the Q-Jet? My Q-Jet runs great even with the crummy Mr. Gasket plastic pump that currently feeds it,but I don't trust the Mr. G. pump as far as i could throw a piano for reliability. So, 486 cfm Quadrajet and 4070 pump combo,pressure regulator or no?

 

A 4gc isn't a q-jet


GO OLDS '60!!!

the most comfortable ride you ever tried!

 

In the good ol' US of A you guys have the best available.

The Walbro FRB series

Dead reliable , reasonably quiet.
These things will pump engine oil [ don't ask me how I know ]

They are marine quality etc etc

Googles your friend

 

You're so right. Pardon my brainfart. So,will the 4gc tolerate the 4070 pump's 5 psi at idle/low revs or is a regulator necessary?

 

Man,I've been googling like a madman for weeks in addition to searching Hamb threads till my eyes bug out. Google is more of a siamese twin than a friend to me. In addition to the Walbro suggestion,if you have any other helpful info,please feel free to share.

 

I want one.

 

Kerrynzl, Just checked out Walbro's website. Their stuff looks impressive. Thanks for the tip. The Carter 4070 still seems to be calling my name though.

 

I have a Carter. Put a regulator after the pump and tee the return line back to the tank in the rear. Adjust the regulator to the pressure you want. Both pump and reg. are close to the tank.
