Can anyone recommend a reliable low pressure (~5lb) inline electric fuel pump ? Just looking for something quiet to work along with a stock pump in hot weather as needed, and to prime the carb after sitting. Will not be running continuous. Tried one of the square professional products pump and it is junk Thank You and Happy New Year to All
we used to get them from car-quest, 6v or 12v, use them for pretty much what you have described, but mostly for a good prime after sitting for awhile. i think napa also carries a similar pump. sorry, no part numbers off hand.
Search the "Walbro" website, they would be the most reliable pumps on the market. [ and USA made for you patriotic types ] Their FRB series can be used for diesel lift pumps etc and are reliable enough to shift refrigerant in "reefer containers"
here's a couple links to the good facet pump: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/1738/Facet_Fuel_Pumps http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ep/fuelpumps_0facetelectric.html http://www.google.com/m/products/de...uel+pump&hl=en&cid=11233075390286746526#prd:o these work good with strombergs etc
I've had the Purulator cube fuel pump http://www.amazon.com/Purolator-Univ-Fuel-Pump-4-6psi/dp/B0002KL408 that I bought at Autozone and now have under my 71 GMC on two vehicles and haven't had a problem with it. Under 40 bucks most places and it is usually hanging on a peg back by the fuel filters. I ran it on a 76 Seville that I changed from fi to carb when the fi crapped out and then on my 71 when I installed the engine in it and the stock pump was tits. It doesn't get whiny when the stock pump now pulls fuel through it even though it isn't hooked up to the electrical system right now.
Got mine at Advance Auto for a mid 70's Jaguar, about $40-advice from the Flathead Forum. I used the low pressure reg from Summit-about $28, not the dial type. I'll look for the part # next year and report back. RB
Found it. Application is ~80s Jag AC# EP42S GM # 6472382 Also, Carter# p4070 - 12 volt or, " p4259 - 6 v Summit Racing has Holley low pressure regulator. Hope this helps. RB
