i used a Facet (a brand name) pump in my carb conversion car. the first leaked, out of the box. the second was fine; it outlived the rest of the car. i had one in a VW-powered 356 that failed, but it had been mounted to the fan shroud and i think the heat and vibration killed it.
if mounted in a place and in such a way that the vibration/rattle can't be heard, or it doesn't bother you, they can be fine. i think they're not good at sucking and need a good solid hydraulic head (mounted close to and lower than the tank). since they act as a check valve against reverse flow, that can be an advantage if plumbed as part of a multiple-pickup (i.e. race car) setup. i have a Mallory for my current carb comversion (6) project. |
