The Mallory Comp 70s seem to die a lot. I know of a couple people here that have been through 2 or 3 of them. I've used Carter pumps a couple of times and they have never caused me any problems. Very durable pump, and gets the job done.

I voted Carter. I have personally used the Holley blue and red and have used the Mallory 140 on V-8 cars. I DO NOT like the Holley's because of the noise they make. I used the Mallory on my last hotrod and it was great. It never failed, always flowed sufficient fuel and was quiet.

I voted Carter because it is quiet, cheap, reliable, and you can get it at any parts store.

 

I have a Carter ready to go under my carbed SE. The crappy purolater pump that was on it when I got the car doesn't keep steady pressure. It starts out holding 6 PSI, but after it has run for a bit, the pressure can drop to as little as 1 PSI. Amazingly, even at 1 PSI, it still seems to supply enough fuel to feed the edelbrock 600.

 

Which model Carter pump are you guys talking about?
thanks

holley blue will outflow any of the pumps listed.
if your going with a mallory, go with the 140
holley pumps are LOUD tho...

 

I used a Mallory pump, and it worked fine for me. One benefit is that they come in a lot of pressure ratings, so you can usually forego a regulator. I've also heard many good reviews on the Carters.

 

This is the one I have. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

 

I just bought the carter you mentioned. I am running the SE pump but my problem was that i couldnt keep a consistent pressure sometimes 1-6 im using a 4309 reg too. S5 weber 48dco

 

I have been using a Carter 4070, but am going to a 4594. I seem to be running out of fuel on long WOT runs (IDA 48). A lot of rotary guys are running these pumps. If you search there are a few old treads about this topic.

 

so whats the difference besides the noise between the blue holley and the carters ?
