external fuel pump
 

im going to order a external fuel pump and regulator what kind of fuel pump should i use

no info to work with - whos pump - carb injection - HP of motor all play a roll in what is the deal on what to buy - jz

i have a holley carb the motor is a stock 350 with weiland team g intake and a msd distributer

a Holley blue pump is all you need and the small adj regulator rule of thumb is one pound of fuel pressure per 100 horsepower - but having said that set it around 5 it will work just fine and in no way over pressure the carb float valves they will work up to 9 PSI -- jz

what is it doing that you think you need an elect pump ?????? -- in the 60s / 70s 427 chevy ford and the hemis came with block pumps and ran real well ?????????? -- jz

the car was tbi i converted it to carb i wanted to run the mechanical fuel pump but im going to put a 383 or 400 in it in the future thats why i want to have the eletric fuel pump plus all the gas lines come up on the driver side

Why not use the stock in-tank pump & a psi regulator?

the stock pump is shot

Like stated above, the Holley Blue w/reg is a nice unit. Wire it up with a relay.

can i wire it up to a switch as a safety precausion so no one can steal my car

We posted diagrams on how to wire a FP not too long ago, search for it. Yes, you could add a switch, you would do so on the relay trigger side. GM has already put a lot of the wiring in place for you.

Did you change the sending unit in the tank? I wouldn't think you could just add an external pump and leave the dead pump in the tank.

i have a sending unit from a 82 camaro that im going to put in as soon as i have a little time i have a posi rear that im going to put in allso when i pull the rear im dropping the tank

i ordered a mechanical pump

I'm a little confused, did the vehicle have an electric pump or a mechanical pump originally? If it had an electric (I'm guessing yes since you said it was a TBI) you need to get it out of the tank anyway so I would just put in a new intank pump that can handle the motor you are planning and tone it down with an adjustable FPR and save yourself alot of aggravation, time, and money.

i got the mechanical pump i got a carb pick up tube im dropping the tank to change that im useing the tbi gas line and put in a piece of line from the metal line to fuel pump and from the fuel pump to carb
