    fuel pump decision mech vs electric

    i was looking to use that holley mat for the fuel tank inlet in place of the sock but although big they are only 15 microns. probably a restriction for a mech pump

    fuel pump decision mech vs electric

    fuel pump decision mech vs electric

    the old mech pump i have on the car right now is really overkill for the 500 hp 454thats in it now and im sure it would do just fine on the 532 thats going in. remember its an allmost 30 year old pump that i can no longer get a kit for. my initial post was about reliability. i need to redo the...

    fuel pump decision mech vs electric

    im talking about an in tank factory style electric pump that pushes fuel from a sump so it would be a higher pressure pump with the appropriate regulator although i guess a tbi low pressure pump could be used. main concern is reliability. the car makes around 500 hp but a 532 is going in...

    fuel pump decision mech vs electric

    i have a BBC Chevelle with a mechanical six valve Clay Smith fuel pump that I have had on the car since the mid-90s. It's working fine and I've never had a problem with it but the thing is approaching 30 years old and I'm afraid to drive it very far in case the diaphragm finally gives up...
