fuel pump help
i went to go get some prices for a new fule pump 2day.
i didnt want a holly or anything overly expensive cus my engine isnt that moded, i was just after something from a newer car with a larger engine..
but i got no idea what i need.
do i need hi flow or low flow?
how many gallons- liters per hour?
how many psi? i was looking at around 2-3?
thanks

- 1102..........15 gal/hr @ 1 psi..........4.5 psi max pressure.............1/8" NPT openings
- 1103..........15 gal/hr @ 3 psi..........4 to 6 psi max pressure.........1/8" NPT openings
- 1104..........15 gal/hr @ 3 psi..........4 to 6 psi max pressure.........6 AN male port
All of the above will not need regulators and are about $40 US new....

Facet pumps suck in my opinion. A pair in parallel won't flow enough for a stockport with an aftermarket carb setup after 6k. They are loud and don't push enough pressure. I'd rather spend $60 on a Carter.
I would say hi-flow is always better because you can regulate it back down to where you need it, plus the stock carb will bypass any extra flow back to the tank via the return line.
I'd guess at least 50gph free flow.
Stay with a low pressure pump, but if it pushes over 4psi - regulate it.

You apparently never actually ran a Facet. The big '80 streetport 12A hit 135 HP at the flywheel at 7600 rpm with a Facet fuel pump from RB feeding a bone-stock Nikki carb. It was no louder than stock. At idle, you couldn't even hear it. Only when it ran out of gas, could you hear it. They don't like running dry.......at all......they get real loud then...but not as loud as a low tech Carter normally is. If you're unmodded, that's overkill....and if you're going to go overkill, then you might as well step up to 21st century technology and a gerotor style fuel pump like the superior Mallory Comp70 or Comp110, both which will need regulators....

I want to say 5/16" fuel hose is used, but I'm sitting upstairs away from my tool chest, it's late and I'm sleepy now... ...I'll check in the morning; I always keep extra fuel line in rubber for all of my toys...

sorry more questions...
ok so i know i need something that is 15gal/hour
or for me 60L/hour
how important is a fuel regulator with a after market pump?
if i got for a pump that gives out 15gal at 2psi with that be alright on its own? or could it still go over that and i'll need to regulate it??
thanks
