Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I’m going to be installing a downdraft on the banger and I know that an electric fuel pump and pressure regulator will be needed. There is a lot of crap out there these days and I like to stick to the best stuff. I’m looking for suggestions on what to buy.

Re: regulator, take a look at the Malpassi Filter King. On the expensive side, but excellent reputation. Officially sold only in Europe but commonly available via eBay. Replaces the stock fuel filter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/282201577884

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I was using the Carter fuel pump offered by the Model A vendors until it failed. I then went to O"Rileys and bought one off the shelf. It has outlasted the Carter and is still going strong.

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I run 4 Model As, all with fuel pumps feeding down draught carburettors, all on 12 v. I go to a Subaru wrecker and buy one of their fuel pumps from a carburettor model car. They are becoming fewer and fewer because carburettors are not used these days but they are available. I've never had one fail. There is no need for a regulator because they ae designed for carburettors.

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I haven't used this, my car is stock, but I had the URL saved for some reason.
I see it is out of stock and I can't tell if it is 6V or 12V. Maybe a Barner is also a VW hotrodder and has some ideas on other pumps? https://vwparts.aircooled.net/Rotary...d-p/rotary.htm |

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I've read that the 12 volt pumps work on 6 volts, but never read anything about the pressure.

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
Try an Airtex E8902. It's 6 volt 30GPH delivered at 2.5 -4.5 psi, which will work with the Stromberg or Holley downdrafts without a regulator. If you want a regulator to make certain of your delivery pressure under all conditions, use the Holley variable regulator that is adjustable from 2 to 8 or 10 psi. They are far more reliable than the small disc-shaped regulators also commonly used that are sold by Holley. I have two cars with Airtex pumps and they are reliable and quiet.

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I use Holley pumps and Aeromotive bypass regulators.
Holley has several grades of pumps. The common dead head (no return line) regulators will not hold set pressure continually at full throttle. |

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I am running a K&N, available in 2 psi or 4 psi if you want to run a regulator which I do. Perfect pressure for a 97 or other low pressure carb.
