external fuel pump for 88NA engine
 

I am using an 88NA engine for my lotus seven project, and I am working on the fuel system now, anyway I am doingf reaserch on parts for my fuel system. What kind of external fuel pump is everyone using? I dont need to run anything better than stock as the motor is going to stay stock. Also what sizes are the fuel fittings on the engine and what else will I need. I tried using the search but got tired of reading through old posts.

Parst i know I will need:

fuel pump
filter
regulator (not sure of this one)

The fuel tank I am using is of my own design and not complete yet, but here a link to another forum with my recent post about the fuel tank.

external pumps are loud and ive never seen one not set up to handle masive amounts of HP. is their a reason you cant use a stock pump?

The tank is 16 inches high I though that the stock pump would be too short, I also dont have one, and to a lesser extent the top of the gas tank will be angled slightly.

I also already made provisions for a sump at the bottom of the tank

If I am not mistaken, the GSL-SE uses an external pump. Should be easy to find one in the classifieds section.

Otherweise there are a million aftermarket pumps but all require a regulator upgrade.

Go to your local autoparts store and ask to see either a Master fuel pump catalog or a Carter Fuel pump catalog. In the back of both these catalogs you will find charts that will list fuel pumps by part #s and then list what thier operating PSI is and thier LPH or GPH, and Also if the pump is meant for Internal or External use.
